CORPORATE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT & CERTIFICATE OF

INTERESTED PERSONS

This statement is made pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate

Procedure 26.1. Appellant John-Joseph: Forjone in esse and Appellant

Christopher-Earl: Strunk in esse are natural persons, not a corporation

and with each being self-represented without either being an attorney.

STATEMENT REGARDING ORAL ARGUMENT

Appellants request oral argument because such argument would

significantly assist this Court in its decision-making process as provided

-1-
by Rule 34 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and Rule 34 of

the Rules of this Court.

INTRODUCTION

The Clerk of the Second Circuit Court has ordered that the

Appellants Brief and Appendix be filed by November 29, 2010 (see A-1)

pursuant to the Letter clarification by Chief Judge Norman A. Mordue

of the Northern District of New York (see A-3) that the Notice of Appeal

of John-Joseph: Forjone in esse (see A-5) and Amended Notice of Appeal

of Appellant Christopher-Earl: Strunk in esse (see A–4) be accepted and

duly acted upon by the Clerk of the 2nd Circuit Court.

That the Original Complaint (see A-35) was filed in Buffalo

WDNY on February 6, 2006 as 06-cv-0080A as the Docket records

indicate (see A-10) with the Summonses issued as to Defendants

February 14, 2006 (see A-46) and with service by motion by defendants

a stay was granted on March 29, 2006 by Judge Arcara (see A-65) who

ordered the filing of an Amended Complaint by May 1, 2006, and that

Plaintiffs’ by letter motion to the Court with the Amended Complaint

(see A-68) and application for an Order to Show Cause relief (see A-64)

along with RICO Statement (see A-83) that upon filing thereafter by

-2-
Text order of the Court on May 4, 2006 shown at Docket entry item #27

(see A-14) for defendants to answer by June 1, 2006. To which the

Defendant filed various motions and Plaintiffs responded (see A-122) to

the Motions at Docket entry item # 38 (see A-14), and that on May 31,

2006, Strunk requested a special master by letter motion (see A-117);

and on June 9, 2006, Strunk requested a Stay of the response to motion

of several State defendants for Consolidated Response to Motions of

Municipal Defendants to which on June 12, 2006 the Court ordered the

Defendants to respond to the Motion for Special master and

consolidation shown by TEXT order at Docket entry item #75 (see A-15).

Defendants’ filed various separate motions to dismiss and or sanction

and or to transfer venue to the NDNY; and that to wit on August 14,

2006 Judge Arcara ordered a change of venue (see A-6) shown at Docket

entry item #100 to Albany NDNY where Judge Lawrence E. Kahn was

assigned the case no 06-cv-1002 as if related to case Loeber et al. v.

Spargo et al. 04-cv-1193 (herein challenged on appeal) when in fact the

case is related to NDNY 06-cv-263 before Judge Gary L. Sharpe.

That where after, NDNY 06-cv-1002 withered as a result of Judge

Kahn’s outrageous complicity with Judge Gary L. Sharpe to favor the

-3-
case USA v. NYS Board of Elections NDNY 06-v-263 wit the complaint

filed March 1, 2006 (see A-135), that involves the alleged non-

compliance by the New York state Board of Elections with the deadline

set by the Help America to Vote Act (HAVA), Pub. L. No. 107-252, Title

III, §302, 116 Stat. 1706 (codified at 42 U.S.C. §15301) with the

proceeding Docket record herewith appended starting at A-17.

That with the WDNY 06-cv-0080A venue transfer to a new case

NDNY 06-cv-1002 after August 14, 2006 accomplished (herein

challenged on appeal) then by outrageous subterfuge of both Judge

Kahn and Judge Sharpe involving NDNY 06-cv-263 with a preliminary

injunction ordered on March 23, 2006 (see A-16) without the proper

Municipal parties joined when filed on March 1, 2006, then prevented

substantive due notice in matters of intervention and to be afforded

Plaintiffs in that case until when on December 17, 2009 even

Defendants’ counsel complained to Judge Kahn for inactivity still

denied even a preliminary conference (see A-140) until February 19,

2010 when Judge Kahn decided there had been adequate delay to

dismiss 06-cv-1002 alleging for lack of service of Defendants (see A-16)

which Appellants challenge herein.

-4-
STATEMENT OF THE CASE

That Plaintiffs / Appellants are and or were real property owners

in various New York State subdivisions where the residents within

have local municipal governments that under the New York state (NYS)

Constitution Article 9 with related articles and law inter alia have

Home-rule authority over elections paid for locally with funds raised

with the real property tax levy upon Plaintiffs property along with those

similarly situated by authority of NYS Election Law (EL) §4-138. That

the 932 home-rule towns with villages within, and 61 cities within the

respective 57 County Sub-divisions plus the city of New York (NYC)

home-rule territory. That NYC contains five boroughs without Home-

rule and each have two commissioners in a local Board of Elections

controlled by NYC in Manhattan- for ten total commissioners.

That the complaint addresses both the national (interstate) and

local (intrastate) denial of equal protection and substantive due process

matter injuring Plaintiffs along with those similarly situated caused by

the EAC/DOJ’s crude implementation of The Help America to Vote Act

(“HAVA”), Pub. L. No. 107-252, Title III, § 302, 116 Stat. 1706 (codified

at 42 U.S.C. § 15301).

-5-
In that HAVA as a Federal pre-emption matter over any state

with a Voter Registration Database that inter alia improves use of the

National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA) (codified at 42 U.S.C. §

1973gg) for any state or territory (state) that maintains the integrity of

the interstate and intrastate voter registration database. Proper

enforcement of HAVA / NVRA is to prevent actual vote fraud and

protect the compelling state interest of those states (like Defendant

Oregon) without a database to maintain a valid domiciliary verification

of state citizenship for issuance of a drivers license and or separate

identification therein and prevent interstate database duplication.

That HAVA provides for the reimbursement for new voting

machine equipment and access for the disable for voting1 as well as for

costs by those states that maintain a voter registration database to be

verified with the enumeration equal to that of the respective State’s

Department of Motor Vehicles licensing process; and in HAVA Congress

uses the term Voting Age Population of 18 years of age or older (VAP)

for determining the magnitude of reimbursement to the respective

1
The Handicapped voter has always had the capability of voting with
an absentee ballots where they may complete in the privacy of their
own home – that raises the question of this portion of the HAVA need.

-6-
state. That the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) assisted by the

Department of Justice (DOJ) were to review the accuracy of each state

application for reimbursement, and that Plaintiffs contend was/is

arbitrary and resulted in the capricious approval of reimbursement

payment for State applications no matter whether the VAP was an

actual enumerated amount of the actual Citizens of Voting Age

Population of 18 years of age or older minus those who are civilly dead

(CVAP) juxtaposed to those VAP merely estimated based upon the 2000

/ 2005 Census enumeration that provides a major difference in

reimbursement amount from state to state. Is Major because the

Defendant States complained of are border states with Mexico that do

not control the movement of tourists at will or illegal aliens there, and

because no census has enumerated with any questionnaire to determine

the difference between the legally domiciled Citizen and or resident

alien from an illegal alien. Those tourists at will in any respective state

are not under the full and complete jurisdiction there unless arrested,

and as a result, the HAVA reimbursement varies widely from those

states similarly situated from New York per se.

-7-
That New York only applied for HAVA reimbursement based upon

the actual CVAP who are actually part of New York’s Voter

Registration Database, and receives less reimbursement from the EAC

thereby Defendants place a greater burden upon the residents and

Plaintiffs domiciled within a respective NYS local Homerule subdivision

where the real property tax levy imposed with §EL 4-138 is greater as a

result of the unequal interstate HAVA reimbursement.

That within New York as an intrastate matter the HAVA

reimbursement is also disproportionately distributed due to the failure

of some local subdivisions without proper NYS Board of Election

oversight responsibility to maintain the integrity of the respective local

voter registration databases within each subdivision. Plaintiffs along

with those similarly situated are taxed more than other Plaintiffs along

with those similarly situated taxed less because of Defendants acts.

STATEMENT OF FACTS

1. Those Plaintiffs along with those similarly situated are registered

to vote in the respective state subdivision.

-8-
2. That only Citizens of voting age who are not civilly dead are

permitted to register to vote and actual vote at elections with federal

candidates.

3. That the only basis to accurately enumerate CVAP or VAP is by

NVRA or “Motor voter”. That enumeration must be done in each

respective State and or subdivision at the Board of Elections and by the

Department of Motor Vehicles identification process that is the basis for

developing an accurate state voter registration database when

combined with other safeguards.

4. That some states use the respective Department of Motor Vehicles

to identify and enumerate tourists at will as a compelling state interest

with other safeguards by Motor Voter and HAVA to prevent fraud.

5. That some states do not pay for elections costs with use of a real

property tax levy done locally by each home-rule entity as done in New

York.

6. That HAVA mandates that of the 110 employee members 55 are the

respective secretary of state of every state is a Federal employee too.

7. That HAVA is not rigorously enforced by the EAC’s Federal / State

employees DOJ to maintain the integrity of the interstate voter

-9-
registration database as such aides and abets massive vote fraud along

with illegal sanctuary policies in states in violation of the Immigration

Nationality Act (INA).

8. That Defendant States, respective Secretaries and Municipalities

were properly named because of the massive influence of the illegal

human traffic across the Mexican border in each, more-so on than any

other group of states of the several states as a function of distance and

enforcement; and although NYC is further away because of the

sanctuary policy no less than 1.5 million tourists at will place a burden

upon Plaintiffs along with those similarly situated in and outside NYC.

9. That NYC outrageously maintains an illegal sanctuary of tourists

in order to circumvent the State Constitution mandated per capita debt

ceiling; and whereas, with the 1.5 million plus tourists at will left

unremunerated disproportionately increases the debt burden upon

those local subdivisions outside of NYC. That NYC not only controls the

vote in the state legislature but also sucks the political oxygen out of

the rest of the state to impose unfair portions of shared mandates on

real property owners of the other state Home-rule subdivisions, on top

- 10 -
of the disproportionate HAVA funds reimbursement as an intrastate

injury to plaintiffs with those similarly situated.

10. That Defendant States use sample and statistical methods to

determine the VAP for HAVA reimbursement, whereas NYS BOE only

uses the actual enumerated CVAP who have actually registered

notwithstanding the impact of duplications, the dead, the imposters and

identity theft and interstate duplication that exists due to failure of

local oversight by the Defendant BOE and with local Election Boards

complicity to increase HAVA reimbursement.

11. That this case like NDNY 06-cv-263 is about HAVA not

redistricting as with Loeber et al. v. Spargo et al. NDNY 04-cv-1193.

12. That NDNY 06-cv-263 does not include a defendant from outside

NDNY despite the fact that all election matters are conducted locally

not by NYS BOE and that is now reflect years later in the Docket.

QUESTIONS PRESENTED

Issue 1: WDNY 06-cv-0080A was first filed before NDNY 06-cv-263

That the 06-cv-0080A complaint was filed February 6, 2006 in

WDNY and duly served before March 1, 2006 when the 06-cv-263

- 11 -
complaint (see A-135) was filed in NDNY after threatening letter was

sent on January 10, 2006 to the NYS BOE by Defendant DOJ for HAVA

(see A-133). Moreover, that with identity of proper parties under the

first filed principle 06-cv-0080A properly encompasses every issue and

party that should have been included in the 06-cv-263.

That the USA / EAC with the NYS BOE and subdivisions are

properly a party in the 06-cv-0080A complaint, and as such, NDNY 06-

cv-263 is a flawed case as revealed by hearing transcripts and the still

ongoing District and Appeal matters until this day shown in the Docket.

EAC / DOJ and NYS BOE in effect cross-complained there in

WDNY in NDNY. NYS BOE after January 10, 2006 also failed to give

notice to the New York State sub-divisions that conduct elections and

have responsibility for both the voter registration database and actual

voting. That EAC / DOJ outrageous unequal HAVA reimbursement is

5th Amendment taking done differently statewide and nationwide; and

to NYS subdivisions that conduct elections by NYS EL §4-138 tax levy.

Issue 2: Judge Arcara erred by not providing for 28 USC §2284 Panel

Plaintiffs sought a declaratory judge pursuant to creation of a

three judge panel with 42 USC §1973C in compliance with 28 USC

- 12 -
§2284 to hear the Voting Rights Act (VRA) 42 USC 1973-C matter as to

both a statewide and nationwide equal protection injury because each

State secretary and or agent arbitrary change of rules and procedures

in preparation of the HAVA reimbursement application using sampling

/ statistical methods for determining VAP that varies from enumeration

practice and intent required under both the NVRA and HAVA with use

of voter registration and identification of CVAP that requires a directed

verdict with FRCP Rule 65 provisional and final relief with 28 USC

§2201 and §2202 for issues raised as applies to use of 42 USC §1973 –I

(c), §1973– I (d), §1973-J, §1973-N, §1973GG-10 and §15544 as relates

to 42 USC §1983, §1985(3) and §1986 accordingly; and that on an

intrastate basis effects covered counties within New York thereby

requiring a pre-clearance review of how reimbursement is done. That

EAC express duty by NVRA and compelling state interest to use CVAP.

Issue 3: Judge Arcara erred by transferring venue to NDNY 04-cv-1193

That there are neither an identity of issues nor parties between

the two cases, and only to the extent that the proper use of the Article 3

and article 9 provision of the NYS Constitution would rework the state

subdivisions as to both NYC and effective constitutional home-rule in

- 13 -
general it was not done and was not an issue to be litigated in the 06-cv-

0080A complaint; and furthermore 06-cv-0080A complaint absolutely

had no impact whatsoever nor was ever considered directly related by

Judge Kahn who dismissed the Loeber et al. v. Spargo et al. case as

insubstantial that was upheld on Appeal by Second Circuit and is

unlike the relationship between 06-cv-0080A and NDNY 06-cv-263.

Issue 4: Judge Kahn erred by dismissing complaint for lack of service.

The 06-cv-0080A Summonses and complaint was duly served by

certified return receipt upon all Interstate parties as the respective

Secretary of State are Federal employees of the EAC for due service

between February 18th through the 21st (see A-59), and whose respective

Attorney General (except for California) made an appearance as shown

for; Arizona on A-53, Oregon on A-57, Nevada A-57, Texas on A-62, New

Mexico on A-61, and that delivery was duly made by the USPS upon

both California parties.

That the intrastate defendants within New York by alternative

mail service defined by the NYS CPLR 312-a as per the notice to the

Court by Plaintiff Strunk on February 17, 2006 (see A-45) shown as

docket item #2 (see A-13), then responded to by voluntary waiver of

- 14 -
service by the various New York State sub-divisions thereafter by the

return of the signed waiver form(s) see A-52 through A-62.

Further, Judge Kahn never considered 06-cv-0080A (06-cv-1002)

to be directly related to the Loeber et al. v. Spargo et al. case 04-cv-1193

as Judge Kahn dismissed that case for not being substantial (that

certainly may not be said of 06-cv-0080A), and that his order was

upheld on Appeal by Circuit. That 04-CV-1193 is absolutely unlike the

relationship between 06-cv-0080A and 06-cv-263.

Issue 5: Kahn, Sharpe, Arcara denied Plaintiffs 1st, 5th, 9th, 10th
amendment rights with related law

All District Judges were very aware of the DOJ intent to file a

complaint against the NYS BOE when DOJ wrote a letter (see A-138)

warning to the Defendant NYS BOE on January 10, 2006 for failure to

comply with the HAVA deadline. All Judges refused to correct the

defects in 06-cv-263 in order to protect plaintiffs’ rights that continue to

be damages that toll until this day.

That as a result of the shenanigans between Judges Kahn and

Sharpe to deny intervention into 06-cv-263 and to suppress plaintiffs’

rights under 06-cv-1002 there were cross complaints were filed in 06-cv-

- 15 -
263 that include some of the same Defendant state subdivision having

appeared in 06-cv-0080 and carried over to 06-cv-1002 who then

intervened in 06-cv-263 because the DOJ had failed to name those

parties or even make an effort to provide due notice as shown by

inadequacy of the hubristic lame decisions and orders issued by Judge

Sharpe and now on appeal as shown in the Docket from A-17 thru A-33.

ARGUMENT

• HAVA Section 402(a) and NVRA 1973gg (9) provide a complaint

procedure to be followed by the EAC and U.S. District Court for

Plaintiff standing

• Pub. L. 105–119, title II, § 209 b thru e, Nov. 26, 1997, 111 Stat. 2480

grants Plaintiff standing to challenge any estimated VAP and that

mandates only an enumerated CVAP by the actual voter registration

database with HAVA may be used by Defendants et al.

• That a Judge may not preempt a voluntary express waiver of service

• Each Secretary of State of 55 States and Territories are EAC

employees with HAVA §213, state and federal fiduciary duties.

- 16 -
• Secretary of States as Federal Employees of EAC and State

employees without strict use of VAP with CVAP definition breach

fiduciary duty

• New York State uses only those VAP in the Voter Registration

Database for HAVA reimbursement may not be estimated to obtain

EAC funds.

• The 42 USC 1973gg (NVRA) Federal preemption over every voter

registration database mandates that the compelling state interest to

determine the domicile of a VAP in the respective state to issue a

driver’s license be used for the voter registration database too.

• EAC payment to states and territories with estimated VAP w/o

CVAP enumeration violates the express mandate of HAVA to

maintain the integrity of the State(s) Voter Registration Database(s),

otherwise is equity denial by 14th Amendment State action under

color of state law.

- 17 -
• That standing is provided for by Congress under census related law

in that census tracks were utilized by the various state in

interpreting the sample of statistically estimated VAP for making

the HAVA reimbursement application that Plaintiffs challenge and

demand an enumerated VAP for the reimbursement application with

HAVA - not a sample or statistical count is not an enumeration.

Therefore, statistical samples are an abuse of discretion that

intentionally creates a false claim by the arbitrary use of VAP

instead of CVAP that are in fact not enumerated as required by

HAVA and related law; and as a result since the various states were

using the census tracks for the statistical calculation rather than

actual enumeration means the controlling legal authority provided

by Congress is 13 USC §141, 13 USC §195 and Pub. L. 105–119, title

II, § 209 b thru e, Nov. 26, 1997, 111 Stat. 2480 quote:

(b) Any person aggrieved by the use of any statistical method


in violation of the Constitution or any provision of law (other than
this Act), in connection with the 2000 or any later decennial
census, to determine the population for purposes of the
apportionment or redistricting of Members in Congress, may in a
civil action obtain declaratory, injunctive, and any other
appropriate relief against the use of such method.
(c) For purposes of this section--
(1) the use of any statistical method as part of a dress rehearsal or
other simulation of a census in preparation for the use of such

- 18 -
method, in a decennial census, to determine the population for
purposes of the apportionment or redistricting of Members in
Congress shall be considered the use of such method
in connection with that census; and (2) the report ordered by title
VIII of Public Law 105-18 and the Census 2000 Operational Plan
shall be deemed to constitute final agency action regarding the use
of statistical methods in the 2000 decennial census, thus making
the question of their use in such census sufficiently concrete and
final to now be reviewable in a judicial proceeding.
(d) For purposes of this section, an aggrieved person
(described in subsection (b)) includes--
(1) any resident of a State whose congressional representation or
district could be changed as a result of the use of a statistical
method challenged in the civil action; (2) any Representative or
Senator in Congress; and (3) either House of Congress.
(e)(1) Any action brought under this section shall be heard
and determined by a district court of three judges in accordance
with section 2284 of title 28, United States Code. The chief judge
of the United States court of appeals for each circuit shall, to the
extent practicable and consistent with the avoidance of
unnecessary delay, consolidate, for all purposes, in one district
court within that circuit, all actions pending in that circuit under
this section. Any party to an action under this section shall be
precluded from seeking any consolidation of that action other than
is provided in this paragraph. In selecting the district court in
which to consolidate such actions, the chief judge shall consider
the convenience of the parties and witnesses and efficient conduct
of such actions. Any final order or injunction of a United States
district court that is issued pursuant to an action brought under
this section shall be reviewable by appeal directly to the Supreme
Court of the United States. Any such appeal shall be taken by a
notice of appeal filed within 10 days after such order is entered;
and the jurisdictional statement shall be filed within 30 days after
such order is entered. No stay of an order issued pursuant to an
action brought under this section may be issued by a single
Justice of the Supreme Court.

- 19 -
(2) It shall be the duty of a United States district court hearing an
action brought under this section and the Supreme Court of the United
States to advance on the docket and to expedite to the greatest possible
extent the disposition of any such matter.

CONCLUSION

That were Judge Arcara aware of the related case NDNY 06-cv-

263 filed March 1, 2006 as Appellants contend then the Judge did not

mention it in either his order March 29, 2006 issued six days after the

preliminary injunction issued by Judge Sharpe on March 23, 2006, or

the August 14, 2006 order to transfer venue, therefore both are flawed

and must be taken into consideration by this court for remand there.

That Judge Kahn and Sharpe have played fast and furious with

the rules and responsibility of their honorable office must be sanctioned.

That Appellants request a remand to WDNY before Judge Arcara

or to NDNY as Judge Sharpe who is very aware of the reimbursement

issues raised in both cases- it does not belong before Judge Kahn; and

as an alternative that this honorable court should hear the matter as

new in that there are ongoing appeals before this court that the issues

herein impact. That Plaintiffs / Appellants are entitled to other and

different relief, as the Court deems necessary for justice to be done.

RE: 1:06cv-1002&1:04-cv-1193

Dear Mr.Stnmk,

I have reviewedyour letters dated June 17,2010 and June 29,2010, Dkt Nos. 137 and
138 filed in 1 :06-cw1002, and Dkt. Nos. 128 ad 129 filed in 1 :Wv-1193, wherein you are
having issues with the filing of the appeals in the above-captioned cases.

The document you have attached as an "Amended Notice of Appeal" was properly filed
as a "Notice of Appealn on March 8,2010, in the 1 :06-cv-1002 on behalf of John-Joseph Forjone
@kt. No. 135) as the filed document is signed only by plaintiff John-Joseph Forjone on March 4,
20 10. I am enclosing a certified copy of docket no. 135 for your reference.

The document you have now attached is an altered copy of the original filed document
@kt. No. 135) and has been changed to an "Amended Notice of Appealn and signed by you on
March 15,2010, but has not been received by the Court as there is not a new Filed stamp mark
on the document after March 15,2010; therefore, the appeals that were received by the Albany
Clerk's Oftice, have been properly docketed.

I am directing the Clerk to file the Amended Notice of Appeal on your behalf as of June
22,2010, which is the receipt of the document by the Clerk's Office.

BACKGROUND FACTS

19. The 1973 / 1975 Helsinki Accords under the auspices of NATO (North Atlantic

Treaty Organization) in combination with the 1966 Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Amended Complaint Page 12 of 62


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-cv-0080
issued by the United Nations, is being utilized to modify suffrage here in New York and each

state of the several states and territories of the United States.

20. The Charter of Paris for a New Europe was adopted by a summit meeting of most

European governments in addition to those of Canada, the United States and the Asian countries

of the former Soviet Union, in Paris on 21 November 1990.

21. The Charter of Paris was established on the foundation of the Helsinki Accords, and

was further amended in the 1999 Charter for European Security. Together, these documents form

the agreed basis for the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.

22. The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) is an

international organization for security; in its region, OSCE is concerned with early warning,

conflict prevention, crisis management and post-conflict rehabilitation.

23. The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe has 55 participating states

from Europe, the Mediterranean, the Caucasus, Central Asia and North America, with agents

operating with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, and whose Office for Democratic

Institutions and Human Rights is the oldest OSCE institution, established in 1990.

24. OSCE is based in Warsaw, Poland, and is active throughout the OSCE area in the

fields of election observation, democratic development, human rights, tolerance and non-

discrimination, and rule of law.

25. OSCE/ODIHR has observed over 150 elections and referenda since 1995, sending

more than 15,000 observers.

26. OSCE/ODIHR has operated outside its own area more than once. Notably a 43-

member OSCE team offered technical support for the October 9, 2004 presidential election in

Afghanistan, as well as with multiple inspection teams inside the United States.

Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-cv-0080
27. The 1991 “
Copenhagen Declaration”on International Standards of Elections

associated with the OSCE created after the so-called collapse of the USSR (actually seen as a

shift in war by alternative means) follows the script of the Charter of Paris for a New Europe

that adopts the Helsinki Accords’human rights goals ratified by the U.S. Senate except for those

Copenhagen Declaration articles that are not self actuating and unenforceable unless adopted by

each of the several states in suffrage matters.

28. The unenforceability of the Copenhagen Declaration entered by President George

H.W. Bush and the Federal Executive in 1990 requires that of 53 Articles the first 27 Articles

are not self-actuating, because nearly exclusively the 50 States who are not party to the treaty

per se individually in each state legislatures in the name of the people within control suffrage.

29. Under the Federal Constitution Article I Sections 1, 4, 8-18, Article II Section 1-4,

Article IV, Article V, Article VI, Article VII limits the power of Congress in keeping with the

spirit of the Copenhagen Declaration as an Extension of the CSCE Helsinki Accords with the

OSCE / ODIHR overtly interfering with elections under the NVRA and HAVA empowers the

Federal Judiciary to hear specific grievance under 42 USC 1973gg.

30. In 1993 the National Voter Registration Act “


Motor Voter”“
Registration by Mail”

was enacted as a self-fulfilling design by Congress to circumvent state sovereign control over

suffrage and create a central voter registration data base for those states maintaining such and

nationally supposedly to prevent the ongoing interstate and intrastate abuse of “


One Person One

, and thereby a “
vote” real time”state central data base, done nationally breaks the status quo.

31. Enactment of NVRA is adopted from the language of the Copenhagen Declaration

despite the non-self actuating aspects, nevertheless mandates state compliance without an

amendment to the Federal Constitution.

Amended Complaint Page 14 of 62


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-cv-0080
32. The Nov. 21, 1995 Dayton Accords were created as an extension of the Helsinki

Accords and the Charter of Paris for a New Europe, that brought forth Copenhagen and NVRA;

33. That the Dayton Accords are an social engineering experiment intended to afford

suffrage to otherwise questionable transient persons deemed resident in the New state (Bosnia

Herzegovina in the former Yugoslavia) therein requiring provisional voting at a general election,

which has since been adopted by HAVA;

34. And Furthermore like boiling a frog the provisional voting experiments by the OSCE

/ ODIHR in Bosnia under the Dayton accords, are now being used to further impose top-down

control over the outcome of elections in every state of the several states, that as of October 29,

2002 Congress enacted Help America to Vote Act (“


HAVA”
), P.L. 107-252, 116 Stat. 1666 as a

questionable mandate under Article 1 Section 4 to carry forward the state by state requirement

for a central voter databases that was to be done by January 1, 2006 for the November 2006

national elections, with final system operations due in 2008.

35. As enticement for cooperation of the southwest border states Congress created an

overly broad HAVA reimbursement formula based upon “


Voting Age Population”(VAP); and

by vagueness and cynical interpretation would include all persons enumerated in the 2000

Census who are 18 years of age and older whether citizens or not, rather than “
Citizens Voting

Age Population”(CVAP) that does not include non-citizens, the civilly dead and those U.S.

Citizens otherwise not entitled to register to vote.

36. Nowhere in the United States does a non-citizen have a civil right to vote in any

Federal Election at the state level and therefore VAP must only be defined as CVAP.

37. New York only uses those U.S. Citizens who are registered to vote, and is not

interested in those citizens who aren’


t registered- e.g. no non-citizen is of voting age.

Amended Complaint Page 15 of 62


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-cv-0080
38. the States of CALIFORNIA, NEVADA, ARIZONA, NEW MEXICO, TEXAS,

OREGON all require that only US Citizens be allowed to vote would violate their own state

constitutions and election laws by using VAP under the broad definition used by Congress to

raid the US Treasury of HAVA Funds disproportionately from New York and other states with

less non-citizens or otherwise more honest in filing for HAVA certification and funds.

39. The September 2005 report by the American University Commission on Federal

Election Reform and Center for Democracy & Election Management whose Co-Chairmen James

E Carte and James Baker III report on the public confidence in the election system in Section II

for Voter Registration and Identification state quote that “


under the National Voter Registration

Act, names are often added to the list, but counties and municipalities often do not delete the

names of those who moved.. Inflated voter lists are also caused by phony registrations and

efforts to register individuals who are ineligible…. At the same time, inaccurate purges of voter

lists have removed citizens who are eligible and are properly registered. …[T]he quality of voter

registration lists probably varies widely by state. Without quality assurance, however, cross-

state transfers of voter data may suffer from the problem of ’ …”


garbage in, garbage out’

40. In New York we have bottom-up suffrage in supposedly Homerule municipalities

with a BOE within that is to maintain the original voting records, and each such municipality

outside the city of New York provide funds for expense of all elections by a real property tax

levy under EL §4-138.

41. In New York 47 municipalities of 58 by mis application and administration of the

State Constitution and Elections Laws do not have at least two (2) Assembly Districts

coterminous within as required by the State Constitution Article III Section 5, as such are a legal

nullity and do not even qualify for having a municipal board of Elections within.

Amended Complaint Page 16 of 62


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-cv-0080
42. As a top-down matter, the New York state Election Law §4-100 requires that each


Election District”as a single polling place with at least one voting machine have 950 Active

Voters per EL §5-213 each for equal time place and manner of suffrage- the status quo in New

York as a rule fails to provide equity as such.

43. As a result of the April 22, 2002 redistricting using the 2000 Census by the State

Legislature, Governor, Secretary of State, have continued since the WMCA v. Lomenzo , 377

U.S. 633 (1964) US Supreme Court case to mis administer and apply the State Constitution

and related laws as applies to Municipal boundaries, Election Districts, Assembly Districts,

Senate Districts, Congressional Districts and Judicial Districts statewide using total population

without giving deference for actual citizens eligible to vote and there by gerrymander vote

effectiveness.

44. That each legitimate state subdivision municipality with a legislative body and board

of elections within, in which there are eleven legitimately formed, had until March 1, 2006 to

declare its intention to redraw their own Senate, Assembly, Legislative and Election Districts

within in order to comply with administration and application of equal time place and manner for

bottom-up suffrage within in a fight for more HAVA funding.

45. Despite adequate notification to each and every one of the 58 state subdivision

municipalities named as defendants herein, not one of the municipalities has expressed intent to

reconfigure any districts coterminous within.

46. That NYC is too large in population size by proper application and administration of

the State Constitution and Laws shall not have 1/3 and or ½ of all the State Senators- does;

47. That the State BOE and the State of New York failed to meet the HAVA deadline of

January 1, 2006 to create a central data base which is the subject of a case before the Honorable

Amended Complaint Page 17 of 62


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-cv-0080
Gary L. Sharpe in NDNY 06-cv-263.

48. the State BOE knows an active ongoing central data base, as opposed to the present

once every two years as a snapshot, would entail detecting Election Law Article 17 illegal

interstate / intrastate multiple voting, domicile residency and uncovering the civilly dead and

thereby greatly reduce the number of both active and inactive voters on the registration roles and

thereby decrease the amount of HAVA money due the state.

49. The HAVA penalty, and lack of interstate and intrastate HAVA funding equity means

that real property owners are not equally treated on a municipal by municipal basis and some of

which will lose real property in smaller municipalities as a result of the increased burden

imposed by the HAVA mandate of as much as a 500% Tax Levy increase.

50. Plaintiffs in the Western part of the state as in the Eastern part, on an intrastate basis

want equity with all other parts of the state in HAVA funding missing since 1994, and

51. Furthermore, Plaintiffs allege that New York suffers interstate injury is caused by

loss of HAVA funds when California etcetera use a broad interpretation of VAP versus CVAP

contrary to its own election laws and constitutions in seek HAVA funding; New York gets less

funds than it should be entitled to.

52. An Erie County BOE audit as with the other municipalities with a BOE to numerous

to name, report that Erie County is unable to pay for compliance with the HAVA without raising

real property taxes or getting more of a share of HAVA money now going to California and

other states making false claims under HAVA, and in that regard the 27 January 2006 Erie Board

Of Elections Audit Released Written by Press Release at Cost, Free!!

Erie County, NY - Our review determined that the Boards staffing structure of 36 full-time
employees is sufficient to meet normal election requirements if supplemented by appropriate part-
time and seasonal employees, said Poloncarz. However, our auditors determined that the Board
does not have sufficient funding for part-time employees to meet 2006 election responsibilities

Amended Complaint Page 18 of 62


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-cv-0080
and that additional funding will likely be necessary to meet federal electoral mandates under the
Help America Vote Act (HAVA).
Erie County Comptroller Mark C. Poloncarz today issued an audit of the Erie County Board
of Elections (Board) for the period starting October 1, 2004 and ending September 30, 2005. The
review was initiated by Comptroller, Poloncarz's predecessor in October 2005 at the request of
the Erie County Legislature and Executive. The audit examined staffing and operational issues
relating to the conduct of elections.
"Our review determined that the Board's staffing structure of 36 full-time employees is
sufficient to meet normal election requirements if supplemented by appropriate part-time and
seasonal employees” , said Poloncarz.
"However, our auditors determined that the Board does not have sufficient funding for
part-time employees to meet 2006 election responsibilities and that additional funding will likely
be necessary to meet federal electoral mandates under the Help America Vote Act (HAVA)."
Poloncarz expressed concerns over the Board's ability to conduct, within its current
appropriation, the February 28th Special Election for the New York State Senate, September
Primary Election, and November General Election. Poloncarz stated, "The Board's 2006 Budget
appropriation is not sufficient to meet the new expenses incurred by the County under HAVA, and
additional funding will be necessary." The audit reports that HAVA costs to Erie County in 2006
will be at least $1.4 million, and likely higher.
HAVA is the federal legislation passed in the wake of the 2000 Presidential Election
requiring state and local elections officials to implement certain procedures to safeguard
elections. In New York State, this includes transferring election responsibilities and those
respective expenses from cities and towns to the County.

53. In the September 2005 GAO Report 05-956 on ELECTIONS it found that:

Federal Efforts to Improve Security and Reliability of Electronic Voting Systems


Are Under Way, but Key Activities Need to Be Completed

While electronic voting systems hold promise for improving the election process, numerous entities have
raised concerns about their security and reliability, citing instances of weak security controls, system design
flaws, inadequate system version control, inadequate security testing, incorrect system configuration, poor
security management, and vague or incomplete voting system standards (see below for examples). It is
important to note that many of these concerns were based on specific system makes and models or a
specific jurisdiction’
s election, and there is no consensus among election officials and other experts on their
pervasiveness. Nevertheless, some have caused problems in elections and therefore merit attention.

Federal organizations and nongovernmental groups have issued both election-specific recommended
practices for improving the voting process and more general guidance intended to help organizations
manage information systems’security and reliability. These recommended practices and guidelines
(applicable throughout the voting system life cycle) include having vendors build security controls and audit
trails into their systems during development, and having election officials specify security requirements when
acquiring systems. Other suggested practices include testing and certifying systems against national voting
system standards.

The federal government has begun efforts intended to improve life cycle management of electronic voting
systems and thereby improve their security and reliability. Specifically, EAC has led efforts to (1) draft
changes to existing federal voluntary standards for voting systems, including provisions addressing security
and reliability; (2) develop a process for certifying voting systems; (3) establish a program to accredit
independent laboratories to test electronic voting systems; and (4) develop a library and clearinghouse for
information on state and local elections and systems.

However, these actions are unlikely to have a significant effect in the 2006 federal election cycle because
important changes to the voting standards have not yet been completed, the system certification and
laboratory accreditation programs are still in development, and a system software library has not been
updated or improved since the 2004 election. Further, EAC has not consistently defined specific tasks,
processes, and time frames for completing these activities; as a result, it is unclear when their results will be
available to assist state and local election officials.

by HUGH SON DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER, quote:

“Diane Haslett Rudiano- Despite a City Department of Investigation probe that found she lied
about her voting address, an embattled Brooklyn Board of Elections honcho will keep her job, the
Daily News has learned.

Board of Elections officials declined to punish Diane Haslett Rudiano - even though city
investigators said she lives in Forest Hills, Queens, and not at the East New York address listed
in voter registration records.

"Her attorney made a case and gave supplemental documentation that wasn't part of the DOI
investigation," said Board of Elections Executive Director John Ravitz.

"And [election commissioners] decided that the residency issue DOI raised wasn't sufficient
enough for disciplinary action against Rudiano."

Board of Elections commissioners unanimously voted to clear Haslett-Rudiano of the election law
felony charges at a closed Tuesday hearing.

Haslett-Rudiano, who earns $76,817 as the borough's top Elections Board employee, is
responsible for making sure election laws are upheld.

"I think it's a disgrace," said Sam Sloan, the political gadfly who notified the investigators of
Haslett-Rudiano's address flap last year.

"I went to her supposed house," said Sloan. "I talked to 30 of her neighbors who had never seen
her there. The idea that she claims she's been living there all these years is just preposterous."

Haslett-Rudiano represents East New York, Bushwick and Cypress Hills as an elected district
leader in the Brooklyn Republican organization.

According to her voter registration records, Haslett-Rudiano has lived in a modest two-story
Schenck Ave. house since 1988. The owner of the building, Theresa McGovern, 99, said Haslett-
Rudiano lives on the second floor.

Property records show Haslett-Rudiano owns several properties, including an upper West Side
townhouse and two Queens homes.

The Investigation Department report wasn't made public, and a Freedom of Information Law
request to reveal its contents was rejected.

“ALBANY - Just-announced Republican Senate hopeful Kathleen McFarland has repeatedly
failed to vote in some elections and is registered at two addresses - a possible violation of state
law, The Post has found.

McFarland, a wealthy Park Avenue matron who announced last week that she'll seek the GOP
nomination to challenge Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, didn't vote in nearly half of the state
elections since 1991, records show.

She skipped six of the past 14 elections - starting from the time she registered as a Republican in
late 1991, Board of Election records for New York City and Suffolk County show.

McFarland, a Reagan administration official in the early 1980s, has maintained two voting
addresses since 1996: at her posh Park Avenue home and at her family's stunning second home
on a small island near Southampton, according to the records.

She pingponged her vote from Manhattan to Southampton in various years, casting her ballot
from the Ram Island address in 1998 and 1999, but voting from Park Avenue in 2000 and 2001.

She skipped the 2002 and 2003 elections, and then it was back to voting in Southampton in 2004,
according to the records.

State law makes it a felony to be registered at two addresses during the same election cycle,
according to state Board of Elections spokesman Lee Daghlian.

"When you change the place you've been voting, a new registration has to be filed, showing that
you've changed your address," Daghlian said.

Her spokesman, William O'Reilly, said, "We don't know the circumstances around the missed
votes, but we will make no excuses for them."

McFarland's newly hired election lawyer, Josh Ehrlich of Albany, insisted there was "no criminal
intent, no venality here," but conceded the law does not allow dual registrations.

"This is a case of the boards of elections not doing their jobs . . . She should have been turned
away," Ehrlich insisted.

Records at the two boards show McFarland registered as a Republican in Manhattan in late 1991
and then registered again as a GOPer in Southampton in 1996.

State Republican Chairman Stephen Minarik said yesterday it would "probably make more sense"
for the GOP to give its nod to McFarland's opponent, ex-Yonkers Mayor John Spencer.

Amended Complaint Page 21 of 62

would specifically amend the NVRA of 1993, would require any individual who desires to

register or re-register to vote in an election for federal office to provide the state election official

with proof of citizenship to prevent illegal aliens from voting in federal elections.

57. Plaintiffs pursuant to the foregoing background facts have injuries to plaintiffs’

individual proprietary suffrage property by dilution, devaluation as a targeted jus tertii class also

effected by long-term gerrymandering since the 1972 reapportionment; and that those Plaintiffs

with real property are effected by takings injury by multiple schemes to defraud facilitated by

local governments acting in conjunction with state and federal malfeasance, therefore Plaintiffs

complain such is done by defendants illegally as a if by a complex racketeering enterprise under

18 USC 1961 thru 1964 with six (6) causes of action and twelve (12) injuries as follows:

58. As and for a First Cause of Action Petitioners Allege Defendants DOJ and its

agents and the Federal Election Commission (FEC) yet to be named pursuant to above

paragraphs 19 thru 57 have improperly enforced the 1993 NVRA to prevent mail-fraud by those

persons ineligible to register to vote in a respective state of the several states and or territories.

59. A report issued by the Justice Dept. in 2000 detailed a program run under auspices of

Vice President Gore's "Reinventing Government" project to streamline government services.

60. In a successful effort to clear a backlog of 1.2 million applicants, the INS engaged in

this crash program called "Citizenship USA" to naturalize the immigrants between October 1995

and September 1996, not coincidentally, just in time for the presidential election.

61. Douglas Farbrother, an official on Gore's team, is quoted in the report saying he

"believed that the (citizenship) program had a deadline that was directly connected to the

upcoming election."

62. The Clinton administration bypassed the customary FBI background check for these

Amended Complaint Page 22 of 62


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-cv-0080
new citizens demonstrating that creating new Democrat voters was a much higher priority than

national security.

63. It is estimated that tens of thousands of applications approved without FBI review.

64. The Justice Dept. report documented 1,000 cases in Miami; 1,300 cases in Chicago;

and an astonishing 2,500 cases in Los Angeles.

65. The politicization of the INS continued in the 2000 election. As documented by

journalist Joseph Farah, on Nov. 6, 2000, (one day before the national election) the California

Democratic Party sent thousands (upwards of 4 million by some estimates) of mailers out to

immigrants who had citizenship requests before the INS.

66. These non-citizens were informed, in both English and Spanish, they were registered

to vote as a Democrat and given special identification card to "help...voting go more smoothly."

67. Follow up investigations by the press pointed to the possible use of INS records to

commit this massive voter fraud.

68. How many of the recipients took advantage of the generous offer made by the

Democrats is unknown, but based on the estimates it is quite possible that Gore's much touted

popular vote win (by just under a million votes) could all be attributed to this scam alone

69. A Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) report reveals that "The Matricula card is

accepted as a valid form of identification by police departments, banks and 12 states for driver's

license applications."

70. This disregard for immigration law has no positive impact for Americans except

those who seek to grant Democrats and Republicans additional power.

71. Moreover, this aberration of constitutional law is tantamount to mailing absentee

ballots for any future election to Iran, Syria, France, Germany, North Korea, or anywhere else.

72. Under the Motor Voter law, anyone [Motor Vehicle Department employees

included] who "knowingly and willfully intimidates, threatens, or coerces, or attempts to

intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any person for registering to vote, or voting, or attempting to

register or vote" violates federal law.

73. Hence, the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens, visa overstayers and others

classified as "refugees" who were granted amnesty or asylum by the Clinton Administration and

or borderless philosophy of Texacan George W. Bush, under the NVRA and seditious lack of

enforcement could all have been illegal voters in the 1996 thru 2004 election thereafter.

74. The DOJ has not done enforcement under NVRA to prevent those ineligible to vote

to take advantage of the Motor Voter law by registering to vote. In Florida, according to the

Florida Secretary of State's numbers, between 1994 and 1998 (the most recent data available),

the number of registered Hispanic voters skyrocketed by an astonishing 557%, from 99,000 to

655,000 while the number of White and Black registered voters increased by a reasonable 15%.

75. The number of registered Hispanic voters has grown even more dramatically in south

Florida. For example, in Dade County, from 1994 to 1998 the number of Hispanic voters grew

by 1996%, a nearly 20-fold increase! And in now-famous Palm Beach County, the four year

increase was completely off the charts, a 7,220% jump!

76. In 1996 the Clinton administration's documented immigrant fast-track citizenship

programs, which have granted citizenship to known criminals, freed to prey on innocent

Americans who "worked hard and played by the rules." ; has not skipped a beat with transition to

the Bush Administration rush to placate and entice illegal immigration and vote fraud.

77. NVRA use by applicants who had no business even visiting this country, let alone

living here, were rushed by the Clinton Administration through the citizenship maze based on the

Amended Complaint Page 24 of 62


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-cv-0080
theory they would, out of gratitude, vote for the Democratic Party.

78. While unhinged seditious Democrats and Republicans spread fear about the alleged

discriminatory disenfranchisement of American citizens, they have supported the indiscriminate

enfranchisement of untold numbers of foreign outlaws -- including suspected al Qaeda operatives

and terrorist sympathizers.

79. The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch reported that illegal alien Nuradin Abdi -- the

suspected shopping mall bomb plotter from Somalia -- was registered to vote in the battleground

state of Ohio by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).

80. Also on the Ohio voting rolls: convicted al Qaeda agent Lyman Faris, who planned

to sabotage the Brooklyn Bridge and had entered the country fraudulently from Pakistan on a

student visa.

81. In the battleground state of Florida, indicted terror suspect Sami Al-Arian illegally

cast his ballot in a Tampa referendum in 1994 while his citizenship application was pending. He

claimed the unlawful vote was a "misunderstanding." State officials declined to prosecute.

82. John Fund, author of "Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our

Democracy," reports that at least eight of the nineteen Sept. 11 2001 hijackers were eligible to

vote in Virginia or Florida while they plotted to kill Americans.

83. According to Ohio’


s Franklin County Board of Elections, the Dispatch reports, the

office simply "takes a person's word, that they're (sic) a U.S. citizen." The Democratic Party

revealed its hand when it crafted the "motor-voter" bill, which made registration so easy that

NVRA stopped authorities from asking for proof of citizenship.

84. Another method in use by seditious state officials is the unwillingness to require an

ID at the polling place, in New York merely requires recognition by a person’


s signature.

Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-cv-0080
85. In 1996, Congress enacted the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant

Responsibility Act (IIRIRA), making it a federal crime for non-citizens to vote in any federal

election (or state election, unless authorized by state law).

86. It is up to the state officials to ensure that those voting in federal, state and local

contests are citizens.

87. A vote by an illegal immigrant brings in the Bureau of Immigration and Customs

Enforcement, a newly formed arm of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

88. It would be ICE's job to deport any non-citizen discovered casting a vote, whether

they are legal or illegal. Marc Raimondi, an ICE spokesman, said the penalty for being in the

country illegally would be deportation anyway.

89. Additionally, a non-citizen who falsely claims to be a United States citizen is in

violation of the IIRIRA law.

90. There are many documented reports of non-citizen voting, (2) and there is no evidence

of prosecution of the aliens for their action by DOJ or state authority.

91. With nearly 19 million foreign-born residents who are not U.S. citizens in the

country in the 2000 Census and an estimated 9-11 million illegal residents (many of them were

also counted in the Census by intentional refusal to ascertain actual citizenship status for fear of

decreasing responses) and now in 2006 estimated to be approaching 20 million, the potential is

enormous for non-citizens to affect the outcome of elections.

92. Charges were made in at least three federal elections in California (3) and twice in

Florida (4) that voting by ineligible aliens determined the outcome of the election; for instance:

 In Florida, election observers say a “


sizable number”of Florida votes in the 2000 election

may have been cast by ineligible felons, illegal immigrants, and non-citizens. (5)

 In California, former Republican Rep. Robert K. Dornan was defeated by Democrat Loretta

Sanchez by 984 votes in the 1996 election. State officials found that at least 300 votes were

cast illegally by non-citizens. (6)

93. Investigation of the allegations established that aliens had illegally voted in those

elections, but not in sufficient numbers to have changed the result. Authorities appear not to

have prosecuted any of the aliens who voted illegally.

94. The enactment of NVRA made the process of registering to vote nearly automatic for

people applying for a state driver’

97. An effort in Congress in 1998 to preclude the registration of non-citizens was

narrowly defeated. (10)

98. Among the reforms included was a provision that required ID for first time voters.

The bill passed 92-2 in the Senate. The two standouts: N.Y. Democrats Clinton and Schumer.

99. Explaining her vote, Clinton said the ID provision would "disproportionately affect

ethnic and racial minorities, recently naturalized American citizens, language minorities, the

poor, the homeless, the millions of eligible New York voters who do not have a driver's license,

and those individuals who otherwise would have exercised their right to vote without these new

provisions."

100. Considering the bill allowed for the use of Social Security numbers, pay stubs

(including government issued checks), utility bills and other forms of verification, Senator

Clinton’

101. Among the special interest groups that oppose requiring ID to vote: The League of

Women Voters, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, the National Hispanic Leadership

Agenda, La Raza, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, and the Mexican American Legal Defense

and Educational Fund.

102. The Clinton and now the Bush Administration contribute to the opening for mass

voter disenfranchisement.

103. Recently the Treasury Department handed down a decision allowing banks to

accept Matriculas under the Patriot Act, legislation enacted in part to make tracing money to

terrorist organizations easier.

104. In Congressional testimony spokesmen for both the FBI and Department of

Homeland Security backed off previously asserted national security concerns with issuing

Matricula cards to illegals. Granting legitimacy to these flawed ID's opens the door wider to

massive voter fraud in states granting driver’


s licenses to non-citizens, further undermining an

already besieged franchise.

105. Flaws in the system continue to be used and expanded upon to give the Left an

unfair advantage in elections and to undermine the legitimacy of our most fundamental

American right.

106. In 2002 Congress passed the Help America Vote Act, designed to correct some of

the irregularities found in the 2000 election.

107. A report filed in Washington D.C. Nov. 21, 2003 by United Press International

declared that the nation's election boards have few controls that would prevent illegal immigrants

from voting in federal, state or local elections, with many of them saying they operate under a

Amended Complaint Page 29 of 62


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-cv-0080
patriotic cloak of trust that individuals casting ballots will conform to U.S. law.

108. Federal immigration officials’estimate in 2002 between 8 million and 11 million

illegal immigrants live in the United States and with the limited restrictions on voting policies,

some say that raises serious questions about the integrity of the U.S. voting system.

109. Three years after the country's most contentious presidential election -- inundated

with hanging chad and butterfly ballots -- the sweeping reforms promised for the voting process

in the 50 states and the District of Columbia had not been realized.

110. Moreover, with few exceptions including those instituted in Arizona and Missouri,

no security measures have been put in place to protect the veracity of elections from illegal, legal

aliens and or citizen multiply registered within a state and without a single state.

111. The U.S. Constitution details how elections in the United States are to work. To

hold office in the U.S. House of Representatives or the U.S. Senate, it requires an individual to

reach at least age 25 or age 30, respectively, and be a citizen for at least seven years.

112. The Federal Election Commission, which oversees the financing of federal

elections, does not have jurisdiction over how elections are carried out in the individual states.

"That's not the role of the FEC. It's probably enforced by the Department of Justice," said Peggy

Sims, an FEC research specialist.

113. The Federation for American Immigration Reform, in Washington, is an

organization that advocates reform of U.S. immigration policy. Dan Stein, FAIR's executive

director, says the federal government and political parties have little interest in ensuring that

illegal immigrants do not cast votes.

114. "It is one more factor that causes illegal immigration to jeopardize the integrity of

the electoral process. (If) we count illegal aliens in the census and reapportion districts to include

Amended Complaint Page 30 of 62


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-cv-0080
them and we allow people to vote illegally, we have dual nationality," Stein said.

115. "In a sense, it winds up diluting the votes. (But) it's not just a matter of diluting the

votes. If a person's vote is offset by someone voting illegally, you also have this problem of

entire states losing congressional seats. It jeopardizes the legitimacy of the whole system of

representation in this country, potentially."

116. Stein contends that efforts to match names on voter registration lists with

immigration lists have been confounded by groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union,

which threaten lawsuits about information sharing. Democrats, he said, insist it would chill voter

participation.

117. FAIR’
s Stein says no one can say with any degree of certainty how often illegal

aliens vote, but that there are occasional fraud investigations. He pointed to the 1996 California

race between former Rep. Robert Dornan and Rep. Loretta Sanchez, a Democrat, who defeated

him by 985 votes.

118. In that race Stein said that Dornan challenged the election results and set up a year-

long battle over the validity of more than 700 votes, allegedly by illegal immigrants. A House

committee voted to drop the investigation of Dornan's accusations, saying that while they had

found evidence of illegal votes by non-citizens, it wasn't enough to affect the race.

119. Stein pointed to state driver’


s licenses as a problem. The so-called motor-voter

program that allows individuals to register to vote when they obtain or renew their drivers

licenses also opens the process to fraud. Some states do not require applicants to prove they are

legal residents of the United States or citizens before they obtain a drivers license

120. Since enactment of the 1993 NVRA a pattern of illegal registration use by mail

121. There is an ubiquitous scheme to defraud elections with use of NVRA with

impunity due to lack of “


bi-partisan”will to prosecute offenders at the state and federal DOJ law

enforcement level, under the guise that somehow illegal registration and voting is a victimless

crime and law enforcement would undermine confidence in elections and impact partisan gains.

122. That the FEC uses an arbitrary and capricious “


unofficial”definition of VAP based

upon internal consideration separate and apart from state law (11).

11
The Federal Election Commission website http://www.fec.gov/pages/vapwords.htm, with emphasis added
by Strunk quote: “ A Few Words About Voting Age Population (VAP)

The term Voting Age Population (VAP), refers to the total number of persons in the United States who are
18 years of age or older regardless of citizenship, military status, felony conviction, or mental state.
The standard source of VAP figures is the Bureau of Census, as reported in their Current Population
Reports, Series P-25.
Extreme care must be taken when using VAP figures as a basis for measuring voter participation
in elections for federal office. The actual number of eligible voters, those that are legally entitled to vote,
will always be less than the VAP because of the inclusion of resident aliens (both legal and illegal), as
well as convicted felons who are either institutionalized or who have not yet had their voting rights
restored under the various State laws, persons declared non-compos mentis by a court of law, or those
persons otherwise ineligible to vote. Neither the Bureau of Census nor any other organization can define
with complete accuracy exactly how many eligible voters there are in the United States. According to
1994 estimates, approximately 13 million persons over the age of 18 were not U.S. citizens. (Non citizens
make up the largest group of ineligible voting age persons. In contrast, the next largest group,
institutionalized felons, who are prohibited by State law from voting in all but 4 States, numbered only
about 1.2 million at the end of 1996.) In spite of these shortcomings, the lack of accurate eligibility figures
requires political analysts to employ voting age population as a base number for comparisons of
participation in the political process.
The other significant variable one must keep in mind when dealing with VAP is the fact that the
Bureau of Census actually uses 3 separate sets of voting age population figures in any given federal
election:
 Projected Voting Age Population
 Estimated Voting Age Population
 Current Population Survey
The Projected Voting Age Population is provided by Census in the Spring of each election year.
These figures are only "quick and dirty" extrapolations from previous data and are therefore unofficial
approximations. These figures include members of the armed forces where they reside at their duty
stations, but exclude the military and civilian population overseas and their dependents of voting age who
would be eligible to vote by absentee ballot in their home State. These early figures are used primarily to
satisfy the needs of the news media and political strategists.
The Estimated Voting Age Population are based on a sample survey conducted in the Summer of
the election year and are thus "official" estimates as of July 1st and are certified as such by the
Commerce Department. These figures include military and institutionalized populations but (in 1996) were
not adjusted for the 4 million undercount in the 1990 census. The value of these statistics lies in their

institutionalized persons, but are adjusted for the 4 million undercount.
For statistical purposes, the Federal Election Commission has opted to use the Current
Population Survey figures for its report to Congress on the NVRA largely out of professional convention.
These are the figures employed by the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress as
well as by Election Data Services, Inc.. Moreover, these are the most frequently cited sources in other
private publications such as those from the Committee for the Study of the American Electorate and
Congressional Quarterly.

Wilkey and its agents yet named as Defendants pursuant to above paragraphs 19 thru 129

intentionally promote facilitate aid and abet illegal aliens to register by mail and vote in Arizona

and in other state of the several states.

131. In ARIZONA when vote fraud was suspected in the 1996 Arizona Primary (the one

that ended Pat Buchanan's winning streak after New Hampshire), the Arizona legislature passed

a special law forbidding a recount for that one primary election only!

132. Jeff Flake R-Ariz., introduced a bill that would bar federal agencies from accepting

a state-issued driver’
s license unless the state has in effect a policy requiring presentation of

acceptable forms of identification prior to issuance of the license.

133. "Acceptable forms of identification" would include a birth certificate, U.S. passport,

a U.S. certificate of naturalization or U.S. certificate of citizenship.

134. Matthew Specht, an aide to Flake, said that Flake wanted to close the loophole

opened when Congress passed the Help America Vote Act of 2002. That law states that a voter

should present to "the appropriate state or local election official current and valid photo

identification."

135. "There are some states like California that issue drivers licenses to undocumented

citizens. That would be a case where you have a legal form of identification according to federal

law ... for somebody who is not a citizen and should not be allowed to vote," Specht said. In

2004 Arizona Voters approved Proposition 200 that requires all registrants and voters to show an

idea when voting.

136. That the EAC and DOJ are working at cross purposes under HAVA as is properly

framed nationwide by the March 11, 2006 press report By C.J. Karamargin ARIZONA DAILY

STAR Tucson, Arizona entitled “


U.S. panel says voters don't have to prove citizenship -

Decision appears to run counter to state's Proposition 200”


.

137. That EAC and Director Wilkey treatment of the State of Arizona in the matter of

it’
s plenary right to ascertain who is or is not a citizen for the purposes of voting as a conflict to

be resolved general is further elaborated by the January 24, 2005 Letter from Joseph Rich then

chief of the DOJ Voting Rights Section to the Attorney General of Arizona in the matter of

constitutionality of Arizona proposition 200.

138. Furthermore, on February 7, 2005 the Arizona Attorney General duly notified

Missouri State Senator Larry Taylor of Jefferson City of the constitutionality of proposition 200

and as such Missouri enacted a similar law requiring certification that only U.S. Citizens are

permitted to vote in Missouri. United Press International surveyed several states with large

immigrant populations to determine their policies for ensuring voters are legal citizens.

139. FAIR estimates there are as many as 3.4 million illegal immigrants living in

California. Terri Carbaugh, a spokeswoman for the state's board of elections told UPI that it has

an "inherent assumption" that individuals who sign their names on voter registration cards are

doing so legally.

140. "Also voter registration cards are clear on the top that you must be a citizen in order

to register to vote," Carbaugh said, adding that they provide registration cards in seven different

languages.

141. She also said poll workers do not check documents such as drivers' licenses or

passports to verify citizenship or when voters show up at the polls.

142. "In the event that individuals are identified or suspicious or that complaints have

been filed, we do investigate, to ensure that the voter registrant did so according to law,"

Carbaugh said. She could not say how often that has occurred.

143. Lee Daghlian, spokesman for the New York Board of Elections, alleges that their

voter registration card is an affidavit that has an individual swear that they are a U.S. citizen and

at least 18 years of age, or face felony charges; in fact the voter registration card is an un-

witnessed declaration unenforceable as an affidavit.

144. "Is there room for someone to lie and get by, sure," Daghlian said. However, he

pointed out that the new rules for the next general election will require potential voters who

register by mail to provide their drivers license number and the last four digits of their Social

Security number.

145. A former U.S. Department of Justice attorney, Hans Von Spakovsky, charged with

determining whether to pre-clear Georgia's voter identification law penned a law review article

advocating polling-place photo ID from all voters last spring, angering critics who say the staffer

had made up his mind on the issue before reviewing it.

146. The Washington Post reported that Hans Von Spakovsky, now at the Federal

Election Commission, published the article under a pseudonym in a 2005 issue of the Texas

Review of Law & Politics - before issuing the decision to Georgia - and later added a link to his

page at the FEC. It has since been removed from the agency's site but is available here.

147. In the CALIFORNIA 1996 election that unseated Bob Dornan following his efforts

to investigate the Clinton White House, canvassers discovered that nearly half of the names

Amended Complaint Page 36 of 62

registered to vote in the GOP election from 7 precincts simply did not exist.

148. The California Attorney General's office was informed by the precinct worker, but

again nothing was done.

149. In 1998, almost 20,000 fraudulent voter registrations were discovered on the voting

rolls, but were allowed to remain on the excuse that their removal in time for the election would

cost too much!

150. California State Senator BILL MORROW of the 38th Senatorial District in a letter

to the state Attorney General Bill Lockyer on April 7, 2006 challenged him to enforce state law

in regards to illegal aliens registering to vote.

151. Morrow Alleges the registrars of voters in all of California’


s 58 counties are not

ensuring that they have procedures in place for identifying valid voters so that illegal aliens are

prevented from casting illegal ballots

152. United Press International surveyed several states with large immigrant populations

to determine their policies and controls for ensuring voters are legal citizens.

153. The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimates there are as

many as 3.4 million illegal immigrants living in California. Terri Carbaugh, a spokeswoman for

the state's board of elections told UPI that it has an "inherent assumption" that individuals who

sign their names on voter registration cards are doing so legally.

154. "Also voter registration cards are clear on the top that you must be a citizen in order

been filed, we do investigate, to ensure that the voter registrant did so according to law,"

Carbaugh said. She could not say how often that has occurred.

157. The evidence for massive vote fraud in the United States uncovered by the Voting

Integrity Project and organizations like it are ignored by the government, which has obviously

been the beneficiary of such chicanery, and by the media, which is complicit in the fraud.

158. FAIR’
s Stein says no one can say with any degree of certainty how often illegal

immigrants vote, but that there are occasional fraud investigations.

159. Election On Line. Org reported April 13, 2006 Thousands of registration

applications were rejected in California where, since January 1, nearly 25 percent of voter

registration forms submitted for verification have been rejected by the statewide database. In Los

Angeles County, 43 percent of voter registrations have been rejected.

160. In a letter to Secretary of State Bruce McPherson (R), Conny McCormack, L.A.

County registrar-recorder/county clerk cited several examples of some of the thousands of

applications rejected by the "CalVoter" system including forms being rejected because a last

name has a space in it such as De Leon, or a last name that is actually two last names with no

hyphen, such as Weaver Cardona, or even new residents to California being rejected because the

DMV file the CalVoter system uses is only six months old.

161. "The challenge of setting up a statewide voter registration database that complies

with HAVA requirements has been well-known to election administrators and activists for

years," said Kim Alexander, president of the California Voter Foundation. "This particular

problem that California is experiencing is a result of the terms of an agreement made between the

Secretary of State and the Department of Justice that is unique to California and a handful of

other states. This form rejection problem itself is a surprise that I don't think anyone anticipated."

162. Nevada has announced that it is to use a voter registration back up system because

of problems with its vendor Covansys Inc., Nevada will be employing a similar system to

California's whereby counties will send voter registration information to a state computer every

24 hours for comparisons to DMV and Social Security records.

163. In February 2006, Nevada Secretary of State Dean Heller (R) suspended a contract

with Covansys claiming there were too many problems with the system the company was

creating for the state.

164. According to published reports, in addition to suspending the contract with

Covansys, Heller requested that the company return more than $1 million the state paid for the

creation of a new database as well as reimbursement of monies the state is now spending to

implement the replacement system.

165. Heller told The Associated Press that the back up system is not ideal and that he

prefers a top-down system, but with no vendor contract and an election just about four months

away, the back up system is the only option for compliance with HAVA.

166. As and for a Fourth Cause of Action Petitioners Allege Defendants New York

State Board of Elections and its agents yet named as Defendants as per above paragraphs 19

thru 165 intentionally and maliciously for partisan gain fail to maintain statewide central

1. When a voter is sent a confirmation notice pursuant to the provisions of this article, the
voter’
s name shall be placed in inactive status.

2. The registration poll records of all such voters shall be removed from the poll ledgers and
maintained at the offices of the board of elections in a file arranged alphabetically by election
district. If such board uses computer generated registration lists, the names of such voters shall
not be placed on such lists at subsequent elections other than lists prepared pursuant to the
provisions of section 5-612 of this article but shall be kept as a computer record at the offices of
such board.

3. The board of elections shall restore the registration of any such voter to active status if such
voter notifies the board of elections that he resides at the address from which he is registered,
or the board finds that such voter has validly signed a designating or nominating petition which
states that he resides at such address, or if such voter casts a ballot in an affidavit envelope
which states that he resides at such address, or if the board receives notice that such voter has
voted in an election conducted with registration lists prepared pursuant to the provisions of
section 5-612 of this article. If any such notification or information is received twenty days or
more before a primary, special or general election, the voter’ s name must be restored to active
status for such election.

4. As soon as practicable, after it restores a voter’s registration to active status, the board of
elections shall send the voter, by first class forwardable mail, a notice advising him of the
restoration in a form which is similar to the notice sent to new registrants pursuant to the
provisions of section 5-210 of this title and which has been approved by the state board of
elections.

5. If the board of elections receives notice, which complies with the requirements of this article,
that a voter in inactive status is residing at another address within the jurisdiction of such board,
it shall transfer the registration and enrollment of such voter to such other address pursuant to
the provisions of section 5-208 of this title.

167. That using the flawed 31 December 2004 statewide database done as a snapshot

every two years yields a statewide average number of inactive registrations of 9.74%, includes a

10.08% of inactive registrations within NYC shown in the below Chart on Line #58, and outside

NYC, the mean number of inactive registrants is 9.39% shown below as Chart line #59.

168. Outside NYC the EL §5-213 determined number of inactive registrations by

municipality varies from 2.95% in Chenango county shown on the Chart below on Chart Line

#1 to Sullivan County with 22.93% shown on Chart Line 57.

169.That notwithstanding the malfeasance by the NYS BOE individual municipal

boards responsible for maintaining the original registration records in each municipality separate

from the so-called state database, the NYS BOE does not impose rigorous of uniformity of EL

§5-213 compliance to be done by each municipality as evidenced by the below chart:

171. In more than one borough within illegal aliens having been given sanctuary “
with

§5-213 in the Boroughs marked in the above Chart Line Item 58A thru 58E have inactive

registrants that vary from 9.77% to 11.89% ;

173. That NYC will wrongly receive no less than $394,075 shown on the chart above

that should rightly go to municipalities to relieve real property taxpayers therein a municipality

otherwise doing its fiduciary duty under EL §5-213 and otherwise getting less than the people

within are en titled for reimbursing costs of implementation of the NVRA and HAVA.

174.That theoretically based upon use of the state mean inactive voters calculated in the
above Chart there are 23 municipalities shown on Chart Line items 1 thru 23, that are not only

entitled to receive the $394,075.45 that would otherwise be wrongly disbursed to NYC, but are

additionally entitled to greater amounts from the municipalities outside of NYC shown as Chart

Line item 24 thru 57 that would otherwise be wrongly reimbursed HAVA funds instead.

175. That the New York state legislature controlled by the permanent oligarchy
despite absolute need for merger and consolidation of municipalities in order to afford US

citizens within equal protection and treatment under the law according to the state constitution

and related laws, instead the so-called “


bi-partisan”autocracy maintains municipalities as if

merely plantations to extract bounty with impunity from the non-majoritarian People left without

a dedicated voice within in the state legislature as they were devised in the 19th century as the

176. That NYC like other municipalities in expectation of increase HAVA funds

malfeasance is rewarded with expectation of increased dollars by maintaining fraudulent

registrations with plausible denial by the State refusal to setup a real time statewide database,

177. That each individual municipality with implementation of NVRA has lost control

of the accuracy of the original registration database, as was intentionally done to create plausible

denial to effect a scheme to defraud the election process by Defendant BOE and those yet named

based upon the pattern shown since implementation of NVRA nationally and since its adoption

s Pataki Administration and “


by New York’ bi-partisan”legislature.

178. On March 23, 2006 the special counsel to the BOE inferred that the State Board

may have to sue each municipal board of elections to implement HAVA requirements and in

effect is not representing the municipalities per se in the Case USA v NYS NDNY 06-cv-263.

179. Notably both Niagara and Cayuga Counties refuse the dictates of the NYS BOE.

180. On March 23, 2006 the Assistant Attorney general of the State of New York

appearing for the entities of New York State in USA v NYS stated that the NYS Ag in the matter

of NVRA and HAVA can not adequately represent the interests of the People of New York.

181. On April 20, 2006 the Executive Director Robert Freeman of the Committee for

Open Government of the Office of the New York Secretary of State held in a written opinion that

the DOJ advisary to the NYS BOE and New York State has repeatedly improperly attended the

Executive Session of the Board of Election closed sessions without public access or record there

by violates the state of open meetings law.

182. There is a body of evidence that the Defendant State Board has NOT enforced the

State Municipal subdivisions and agents yet named as Defendants pursuant to above

paragraphs 19 thru 182 intentionally fail to maintain an accurate original voter registration

database on a municipal by municipal basis as required under color of NVRA and HAVA and

New York State Election Law;

184. That Municipal defendants under EL §4-138 pass-on the expense of administering

elections to the real property owners by tax levy outside of NYC and by users fees and other

excises within the city:

185. That Defendant Municipalities depicted in Chart Line Item 24 thru 58 have a

fiduciary duty required of each respective “


bi-partisan”municipal board of elections as part of

the partisan control over patronage policy, purse and especially the real property tax levy

empowered under local government Homerule law, pass on the all unfunded expenses for

Medicaid, Elections, and other unfunded mandates required by the State.

186. Municipal Defendants over the years based upon public records display a pattern

of intentional concealment and cover-up in regards to accurately noticing and segregating the

actual Medicaid costs required under Social Service Law related to the Social Security Act, as

well as election costs required under EL §4-138 and now NVRA and HAVA to be levied upon

real property outside NYC, as excise users fees within NYC whose tax burdens are staggering.

187. That were the other states of the several states to honestly and legally to make

reimbursement claims for HAVA funds using the narrow interpretation of VAP based upon

rigorous use and enforcement of the respective state constitution and laws less HAVA funds

would be disbursed to those states, and

188. Accordingly based upon the narrow interpretation of the HAVA VAP

reimbursement formula, rather than the intentionally over broad use of VAP as

unconstitutionally vague, when in fact in all state law non-citizens, and the civilly dead are NOT

part of the voting age population, and

189. Therefore, the state of New York and the respective municipalities subdivisions

would receive a significantly greater HAVA reimbursement, thereby relieving the real property

owners as a jus tertii class including plaintiffs with property along with those people within

NYC, would not be burdened with unreasonable higher taxes as a result of such legal narrow

interpretation of VAP.

190. That Plaintiffs are not legally represented in the state legislature with a dedicated

voice or other recourse other than Federal court and that State Defendants, State Municipalities

and rubber stamp by DOJ of the April 22, 2002 gerrymander of state and federal districts

191. Gerrymander per se is done by mis application and administration of the state

195. That the Chart on the next page entitled “

201. That as of February 10, 2005 a California compliance submission to the DOJ and

; and quote that
the “ Population estimate data from the Population Research Unit of the Department of Finance

202. Like the California Constitution portion shown below only US Citizens may vote

matter except qualification and eligibility to vote at an election.

Amended Complaint Page 50 of 62


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-cv-0080
204. That in the matter of national HAVA Funds distribution there is an inconsistency in

the use of VAP versus CVAP, that a thorough review of the public records of each state of the

several states and territories will reveal in comparison the 2000 Census enumeration for nativity

and State Plans submissions to the Election Assistance Commission evidenced by the Federal

Register record on the EAC website.

205. Federal Election Commission (FEC) basis for which VAP (shown in footnote #11)

is used differently from state to state and would properly create an offset and resolution for

equity; especially since as many as 18 states have not implemented the “


centralized”voter

registration database- i.e. the underlying reason for HAVA and the National Voter Registration

Act (NVRA) in the first place.

206. The imperative to catch the rampant vote fraud and abuse nationally and statewide

here in New York is essential and warrants fraud investigation statewide.

207. The Chart below compares the actual numbers used by New York with a

$221,000,000 funds figure that is subject to HAVA funding variations caused by arbitrary use of

VAP by California and Texas in the state compliance submissions to the DOJ and EAC:

the Chart shows that New York even with a large number of non-citizens like both Texas and

California, however New York has relatively less aliens, and therefore is more significantly

injurious to the U.S. Citizens resident in New York with use of VAP instead of CVAP;

accordingly New York Citizens are denied equal protection as a result of California and

especially Texas gaming the system without proper Voting Rights Act compliance oversight and

equal treatment afforded by DOJ review and certification for the EAC to equally disburse funds.

208. That Injury to Plaintiffs is significant and palpable by the very nature of the

underlying causes of action stated above in paragraphs 58 thru 207, Petitioners / Plaintiffs

individually and collectively as a class as those similarly situated are irreparably injured by

Respondents / Defendant as a result as follows:

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

This is a Civil RICO Statement by Plaintiffs John Joseph Forjone and

Christopher Earl Strunk, each pro se and neither being an attorney under 18 USC

§1964(c), in addition to the relators matter under the False Claims Act (FCA) 31

USC §3729 thru §3733. This Civil RICO Statement (“


Statement”
) is submitted

pursuant to WDNY Local Rule 5.1 and 9.2 in conjunction with the Amended

Complaint to be duly filed by May 1, 2006 in compliance with the Order of the

Honorable Chief Judge Richard J. Arcara.

The Amended Complaint has 221 paragraphs and Wherefore relief section

that will be referenced in this Statement. As alleged in paragraph 57, Plaintiffs

pursuant to the background facts in paragraphs 19 thru 56 have injuries to (i.)

Plaintiffs’individual suffrage proprietary property by dilution, devaluation, and

RICO Statement Page 1 of 50


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-CV-0080 RICO STATEMENT

offset as a jus tertii class (1) additionally effected by long-term gerrymandering

since the 1972 reapportionment, (ii.) those Plaintiffs with real property are

especially affected by takings injury caused by multiple schemes to defraud

facilitated by local governments acting in conjunction with state(s) of the several

states and territories and federal malfeasance and both sets of Plaintiffs suffer (iii.)

theft of individual liberty.

That Plaintiffs complain of injury done by Defendants, their agents

statewide, and those yet named nationally and internationally conducting an

enterprise through patterns of racketeering activity defined 18 USC §1961 thru

§1968 with six (6) causes of action and twelve (12) injuries.

The enterprise in New York, centers the New York State BOE and its

agents, including every Municipal BOE and its agents, including Thomas Wilkey

as its Democratic Party co-director and member of the National Association of

Secretaries of State (NASS), are a legally mandated “


bi-partisan”configuration

dependent upon appointed members of two different political faiths (the same

parties for more than one hundred years) are all defendants as a class herein too

numerous to name. By operation of law Defendants preclude non-partisan and or

non-majoritarian citizens. As such all “


bi-partisan”Defendants and their agents

have an express fiduciary duty to check and verify the actions of each other, as

1

Jus tertii“third party standing created by non/mis/malfeasant neglect of statutory fiduciary duty.

RICO Statement Page 2 of 50


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-CV-0080 RICO STATEMENT

well as to detect, prevent and punish misrepresentation and fraud in provision of

suffrage for the benefit of each Plaintiff individually and class similarly situated

precluded from the process under color of law.

Plaintiffs allege Defendants on a state, multi-state, national and international

level are part of a racketeering enterprise in conjunction with exploiting vagaries,

loopholes and questionable devices associated with the “


Voting Age Population”

(VAP) Formula created by Congress and the enterprise itself as if by operation of

law under color of the 1993 National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), 2002 Help

America to Vote Act (HAVA).

That the enterprise reaps unjust enrichment by taking intangible and tangible

property by fraudulent concealment, extortion, theft and robbery benefiting from

mail and wire fraud while operating under color of the 1993 NVRA, 2002 HAVA

incorporated into the 1965 Voting Rights Act (VRA); and by operation of the

Racketeering Enterprise among enticements it harbors aliens defined per the

Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), uses the “


Great Society Program”

provision of Medicaid (SSA), education, housing, employment and provides mail-

in registration and voting without oversight to Plaintiffs proprietary property and

business detriment.

RICO Statement Page 3 of 50


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-CV-0080 RICO STATEMENT

That under HAVA as an extension of NVRA, the enterprise and its agents

facilitate illegal mail-in voter registration(2) devised in a scheme that can only be

enforced by the respective state of the several states in many of which its agents

are of the enterprise itself. That the DOJ has refused to become involved as a rule

rather than exception, and when the State authorities refuse to do fiduciary duties

as the only agency that may ascertain the validity of the registration and or voting

by mail-in voter registration and or absentee ballots nationwide, As such politically

motivated dereliction of fiduciary duty constitutes a component of the enterprise(3)

scheme for unjust enrichment that willfully facilitates, aids and abets to defraud

Plaintiffs, those similarly situated, and the Federal Treasury by devaluing and or

nullifying (offsetting) U.S. Citizen’


s proprietary vote investment, thereby thieves

liberty; and notwithstanding the myth of good government appearing long

abandoned in New York, corruption is a “


bi-partisan”endeavor, expectation of

effective voting remains the right that safeguards all other rights.

That NYS BOE is at the center of the enterprise with respect to various New

York state subdivision municipal boards of election who are each either co-

conspirators willfully acting or unwitting participants in the scheme to facilitate

registration, voting, and with use of the U.S. Mail funding the scheme by a pattern

of real property tax levy taking property differently outside NYC and other states

than within. That participants act under color of the VRA and related laws to aid

and abet illegal alien sanctuary per 18 USC §1324 (a) (1) (A) (iii.) (iv.), obstruct

INA process in the matter of facilitating illegal aliens to pose as US Citizens (4), to

obtain fraudulent documents (5), and then on the prime voters list used tangentially

every tens years to gerrymander as was done April 22, 2002. That the criminal

activity of the enterprise involves mail and wire fraud defined under 18 USC

jurisdiction over.

That DOJ and its agents inaction absent reasonable standard of care is

dereliction of duty, that appears politically motivated, is consistently done as a

pattern of dereliction while under the Clinton and current Bush administrations to

That the scheme to defraud US Citizens that registers illegal aliens to vote as

if done by US Citizens under color of NVRA and HAVA involves solicitation of

foreign owned vendors to acquire, operate and manipulate votes cast on electronic

voting machines mandated by Congress, and that such schemes not only statewide

have an impact nationally and internationally as a matter of commerce under North

American Free trade Agreement (NAFTA) whose agents promote open borders

and predatory trade practice with use of chattel indenture and peonage.

The schemes use the weakness of the VRA, whose safeguards apply only

for protected minorities in which DOJ has jurisdiction; however, does not afford

equal protection to those who are not protected minorities, operates as a reverse

discrimination facilitating the crime defined(7)

unofficial”definition of VAP for broad rather than narrow use as referenced

by the Amended Complaint footnote #11 referenced by paragraph 122 and in

the First Cause of Action Paragraphs 58 thru 122.

d) THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Voting Rights Section

per (VRA) under direction of Joseph Rich who retired in 2005, and now John

K. Tanner with assistant Wan J. Kim, all have failed to duly certify HAVA each

state compliance plan submission by measure of state law in the matter of VAP,

operating under Election law per EL §3-100, as well as non-enforcement of

open meetings law, has aided and abetted concealment of the enterprise that by

public disclosure of the “

star chamber, would have been exposed;

i) New York State Attorney General ELIOT SPITZER per CPLR §1012, like the

SOS in the matter of enforcement of NYS Civil Rights Law Chapter 6 Article

5A, Eliot Spitzer and Dennis Vacco before him are “


bi-partisan”operatives

who are politically motivated to enforce law in a capricious manner for the

benefit of the “
bi-partisan”enterprise, and that just as the Attorney General has

been found wanting in a pattern of lack of enforcement of fraud and abuse in

the Medicaid program, he is similarly exudes willful neglect in election matters,

whose officers to numerous to name herein for the purposes of brevity in the

matter of the fiduciary duty to comply with EL §5-213, EL §4-100 along with

interrelated “
bi-partisan”safeguard and oversight of elections, especially since

mere existence of a legal county party committee under EL §2-100 in most

municipalities is questionable, would detail plaintiffs contentions of

wrongdoing; and to the extent that the 1894 state constitutional mandated

firewall of municipal control over the original database has been breeched by

the operation of NVRA, HAVA and districting after the case WMCA v.

Lomenzo, 377 US 633 (1964), the need for safeguard and compliance becomes

that more urgent as a fiduciary duty to protect plaintiffs and those similarly

situated.

state the alleged misconduct of each wrongdoer.

foreign governments and or foreign citizens, were chosen even though

the same companies have been found lacking by Florida and other states

of the several states in meeting compliance, and in the home country of

origin Ireland as well refuses to use Liberty EVMs.

b) That NYS BOE in conjunction with agents of the various Municipal

Defendants, seemingly with the exception of Niagara and Cayuga

Counties, are involved in transactions with the foreign held electronic

voting machine vendors, under rules devised by NYS BOE, to secure

unjust enrichment, and autocratic control over patronage policy and

purse.

(G) State whether the alleged predicate acts relate to each other as part
of a common plan. If so, describe in detail.

RESPONSE: Yes, the above predicates relate to each other as part of a

common plan:

1. in New York have two stages first to secure as much money from the

Federal Treasury as possible and in stage two to tighten “


bi-partisan”control

over patronage policy and purse for the purposes of taking Real property by

extorting owners and at the same time secure top down control over

individual expectation of suffrage at every election using prime voter lists as

a crib sheet and notwithstanding the absolute myth of a secret vote does in

fact not exist as a matter of voting record from every election by paper tape

coordinated with voter number “


bi-partisan”gerrymandering every tens

years by packing racking or stacking total person without regard to actual

eligible voters guarantee by consent not competition re-election of party

sinecures who in super majority like gangster run protection operations to

maintain the non-profit organizations a the local government level to loot the

Medicaid system and every line item on the cooked book budget, spread

walk-around-money buying votes and favors to fix and predetermine

elections.

2. At the National Level there is no accountability for what each state does

within or without and the “


Bi-partisan nature of the DOJ acting in a totally

politically motivated fashion in effect run protection for each of fifty

enterprises which are now coordinated for maximum bills of pain and

penalties generated by the Congress who also with the consent nature of

conducting elections in New York state and Plaintiffs are sure exists nearly

as corruptly in the other state of the several state especially California and

Texas feature in comparison in the sixth Cause of Action in paragraphs 194

thru 207.

3. At the International level through the auspice of the U.S. State Department

and Central Intelligence Agency as with the OSCE / ODIHR and other

“ CHICAGO BALLOT CHAOS - NEW COMPUTER VOTE MACHINES MALFUNCTION, UNVERIFIABLE”
By Christopher Bollyn –American Free press Published March 27, 2006 - COOK COUNTY, Illinois—Chicago’ s use of
a flawed computerized voting system operated by a privately held foreign company reveals how meaningless and
absurd the “ democratic”process in America has become. Having observed voting systems across Europe, from
Serbia, Germany and Estonia to Holland and France, this reporter has noted that the most honest and transparent
elections are also the most simple.
The more complicated methods of voting, such as the unverifiable computerized voting systems widely used
across the United States, lack the most essential element of democratic elections—transparency.
The $50 million touch-screen and optical-scan voting system provided by Sequoia Voting Systems failed
across Chicago and suburban Cook County during the March 21 Illinois primary. However, the leading corporate-
controlled newspapers merely lamented the failures of the system without addressing its fundamental flaws or even
reporting that the company running the election is foreign-owned.
The “ high-tech”computerized voting system was “ cumbersome”and “ slow,”one mainstream Chicago
newspaper reported. The machines failed across the county causing “ plenty of frustration and confusion for voters,”
the paper reported. The ballots and votes from more than 400 precincts were still uncounted two days after the
election due to machine malfunctions and lost memory cartridges which contain the results.
Reports from other dailies noted that as of noon Wednesday, Chicago was missing memory cartridges from
252 polling stations while Cook County officials “ couldn’ t find”the results from 162 suburban precincts.
Election officials tried to assure the public that although nobody knew where all the ballots and computerized
memory cartridges were, they were “ most assuredly not lost.”
“I don’t trust that,”U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) said. “ This is Chicago. This is Cook County. We created
vote fraud, vote scandal and stealing votes. We created that mechanism. It became an art form.”
“Ballot chaos”is how another large Chicago newspaper described the situation in which the votes from
hundreds of precincts could not be found or counted on Election Night.
“We have accounted for the votes,”Langdon Neal, city election chairman told the publication. “ What we
haven’ t been able to do is count them.”
In one precinct on the Near South Side, for example, the Sequoia optical scanner failed to register anything
but Republican ballots. Although “ election officials”tried to repair the machine four times, by the end of the day it had
failed to register a single Democratic ballot in a precinct in which some 86 percent of the voters are Democrats.
When this reporter went to vote, the touch-screen machine went completely dead as the voter in front of me
pressed the button to print. When the poll workers were asked if other voters had had similar problems with the
equipment they said it had happened all day and showed me an unplugged machine that had broken down earlier.
When the polls closed at 7 p.m., American Free Press was at the Cook County Clerk’ s office to see how the
votes were tallied.
Citizens in Chicago, as in most American cities, are, however, forbidden from viewing or participating in the
any aspect of the vote-counting process.

RICO Statement Page 29 of 50


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-CV-0080 RICO STATEMENT

The so-called counting of the votes is managed by some two dozen employees of Sequoia Voting Systems,
a privately held foreign company. These employees, many of whom are not even U.S. citizens, have “ full access”to
the “ back room area,”a sealed-off section of the 5th floor of the county clerk’ s office which is called the “ tally area.”
In Chicago, the person in charge of the tallying of the votes was a British employee of Sequoia named David
Allen from London. Allen, who ran the “ Sequoia War Room”in an office next to that of Cook County Clerk David Orr,
oversaw the “ tally room”team, which included a dozen Venezuelan employees, who operated the hidden computer
equipment that counts the votes.
As American Free Press has noted before, there are wire services such as the Associated Press, who could
be seen having direct connections leading from their computers to the hidden mainframe computer of the Sequoia
tallying system located behind the wall on the 5th floor of the clerk’ s office.
Senior executives from Sequoia Voting Systems and from its partner company, Smartmatic, such as
company president Jack A. Blaine and Roger Alejandro Piñate Martinez, vice president of special operations, also
had “ full access”to the tally area.
Sequoia, which was previously held by the British-based firm De La Rue PLC, a company, which produces
bank notes, travelers checks and cash handling equipment, was merged or combined with Smartmatic in March
2005.
Smartmatic, which has a U.S.-based office in Boca Raton, Fla., is headed by three young Venezuelans
along with Blaine, a former vice president with Unisys. A dozen Venezuelans could be seen managing the most
sensitive aspects of the recent election in Chicago.
Smartmatic, the parent company of Sequoia Voting Systems, obtained the company for a “ ridiculously low
amount of money,”Charles D. Brady, an analyst with Hibernia Southcoast Capital Inc., said at the time of the merger.
While De La Rue purchased 85 percent of Sequoia in 2002 for $35 million, it reportedly sold the growing
global company for only $16 million in 2005. Tracey Graham, then president of Sequoia, said more than 30
organizations had expressed interest in buying her company, yet no names of other bidders were given citing
“confidentiality agreements.”
The chief officers of Sequoia-Smartmatic are two 32-year old Venezuelans from Caracas, Antonio Mugica
and Alfredo Anzola. Anzola also works as a Venezuela-based lawyer brokering international oil deals with the
Cleveland law firm of Squire, Sanders & Dempsey.
“With the combination of Sequoia and Smartmatic, both proven innovators with accomplished track records
in either the U.S. or abroad, we are creating the first truly global leader in providing voter-verified electronic voting
systems,”Blaine said in March 2005 when the merger was announced.
There is, however, nothing verifiable about the Sequoia voting system used in Cook County. The voter has no way of
knowing if his vote has been counted or how it was counted.
The absolute lack of transparency in U.S. voting systems yields unverifiable election results, which can only
be accepted on faith. In Chicago voters are asked to trust the results produced by malfunctioning machines operated
by a privately owned foreign company.
Asked about the nature of the foreign company that runs elections in Cook County, Scott Burnham,
spokesman for Cook County Clerk Orr simply said, “ Ask Sequoia”and hung up the phone. Asked about the
ownership of the privately held company, Allen, who supervised the tally, refused to answer and handed the phone to
Michelle Shafer, the company’ s vice president and spokesperson.
Pressed about Allen’ s citizenship, Shafer finally admitted that the Sequoia employee who oversaw the tally
was, indeed, a British citizen who had been assisted by a team of Venezuelans.
Dimas Ulacio, one of the Venezuelan technicians who worked in the tally area spoke with American Free
Press. “ Who really owns Sequoia?”Ulacio was asked. “ Is Sequoia-Smartmatic truly a Venezuelan company or is it a
British-owned company masquerading as a Venezuelan company?”
Ulacio laughed but refused to answer.
While a high percentage of the precinct results—about 90 percent—are usually reported within one hour of
the polls closing, the Sequoia system failed to produce any results for nearly two hours. Only 44 percent of the
precinct results had been reported four hours after the polls closed.
The widespread failures of the Sequoia voting system in the Cook County election, Shafer said, made for a
“very typical Election Day in a jurisdiction where they are changing voting technology.”Rather than blame the
machines, Shafer blamed human error. (Issue #14, April 5, 2006) –

too much control of a constitutionally protected right in the hands of private

companies and have weakened the vote verification process.

(C) State whether any defendants are employees, officers or directors of


the alleged enterprise;

RESPONSE: Plaintiffs believe there is an overlap among state officials

through the NASS however have not coordinated the overlap between

Defendants and above entities

(D) State whether any defendants are associated with the alleged

RICO Statement Page 32 of 50
Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-CV-0080 RICO STATEMENT

when acting on a “
bi-partisan”basis by consent which omits the general

public notice and makes decisions in a star chamber.

(7) State and describe in detail whether you are alleging that the pattern of
racketeering activity and the enterprise are separate or have merged into one
entity.

RESPONSE: Once the EVM are acquired there will not be a difference between

the entities and the public and private side of state and national government;

however at present plaintiffs do not know if the EVM entities are interdigitated

s March 2006 Election, that is

an important example in footnote #9.

(9) Describe what benefits, if any the alleged enterprise receives from the
alleged pattern of racketeering.

RESPONSE: Defendant natural persons as a matter of public employment operate

familiar with the public officials of the other states of the several states and

territories, but note that if not operating in a non-partisan fashion lack the

necessary “
sunshine”to escape the appearance of impropriety.

(10) Describe the effect of the activities of the enterprise on interstate or


foreign commerce.

RESPONSE: The sale of EVM by agents of a foreign government especially

that of Venezuela and Hugo Chavez, by active investment, empowers such

foreign government(s) with the capability to effect the outcome of state and

national elections, and creates the basis for every state of the several states to

become subject to the manufacturing requirements of countries and

government not under the authority and jurisdiction of the state and or

United States of America.

(11) If the complaint alleges a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1962(a), provide the

RESPONSE:

1. In the state of New York, it is believed that only the State has received the

$221 million in HAVA dollars as yet, however since the 1993

implementation of NVRA the costs for conversion to a central database on a

yearly tax levy basis have been levied paid and dispensed not only to “
bi-

partisan”employees of the various Municipal Boards and State Board but to

many private consultants and contractors as well whose names not known at

this time.

2. As for the other states of the several states, who have received compliance

money a long time before New York, money has flowed for purchase of

equipment and compliance software and database outsourcing- however

exact amounts are not known at this time.

3. That NYS BOE has received payment from EAC approximately totaling

$221 million and placed under the control of the State Controller and

Commissioner of Finance in a commercial Bank account now accruing

interest

4. That Plaintiffs are not aware of the exact total received by the other states of

the several states and territories, however in fact is part of the public record

having been published in the Federal Register, and are not aware of the how

the individual sums are being utilized to date.

5. The NYS Sub-division local governments since implementation of the

NVRA in 1993 and since HAVA in 2002 have been on an annual basis

pursuant to EL §4-138 levying the costs of NVRA, HAVA compliance

municipality.

RICO Statement Page 35 of 50


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-CV-0080 RICO STATEMENT

6. That private EVM entities, associated with NASS have received HAVA $$$

from other states of the several states and territories.

(B) Describe the use or investment of such income.

Plaintiffs believe the interest is being spent for operations of NYS BOE

and related activities; plaintiffs do not believe any money has been

disbursed to the State sub-divisions yet.

2. Plaintiffs are not aware how the Election related levied funds paid for by

real property owners has been used; however, contend the funds became

fungible and could have been used for anything except NVRA, HAVA

and Elections costs because they were not earmarked or segregated.

3. Plaintiffs compare how local governments use of EL §4-138 levied

election funds that are questionably fungible in the respective

municipality, as Medicaid funds are paid after levy on real property

before a respective local government actually pays the New York

Commissioner of Finance for the Commissioner of Health overseeing

Medicaid funds, and as such there is not interim accountability

(12) If the complaint alleges a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1962(b), describe in


detail the acquisition or maintenance of any interest in or control of the
alleged enterprise.

RESPONSE:

a) That in New York, the “


bi-partisan”nature of the Board of Elections both

at the State and Municipal level, in which 47 municipalities by operation

of law are a nullity under application and administration of the state

constitution; however, appear to be maintained by partisanship much like

appears in a plantation system rather than Homerule autonomous entities

serving the people within,

b) That such a contorted configuration of municipalities shown by the New

York Municipal Subdivision History 1683 thru 2006 Chart in paragraph

175 of the Amended Complaint compared with total population and

persons eligible to vote within each municipality since 1964, and by

operation of law New York absolutely precludes participation by nearly

40% of those Registered and or those entitled to register and vote, and

c) That in New York there is an absolute blur in the difference between

public and private interests in the operation of elections conducted by

local government similarly overlaps state control over ballot access that

circumvents municipal authority under the state constitution, and very

much resembles the blur of authority in the management of the biggest

State Budget line item Medicaid that in 2005 spent $45.5 billion, and in

that regard January 2006 DOJ has been impelled to act, only after being

put through shear embarrassment to find that New York publicly and

privately have committed fraud abuse and profiteering that should be

characterized as racketeering as well as false filings with the U.S.

Department of Health and Human Services and the Federal Treasury,

which is the subject of the WDNY case 05-cv-395.

(13) If the complaint alleges a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1962(c), provide the


following information:

(A) State who is employed by or associated with the enterprise; and

RESPONSE:

1. From the NYS BOE for two tears alone Peter Kosinski and now since

late 2005 Stanley Zalen are active members of the NASS promoting

NVRA and HAVA, traveling nationally and associating with

international efforts around oversight and control of election done by

OSCE / ODIHR associated with equipment manufactures.

2. That outsourcing of database and election management privatizes

otherwise public fiduciary functions;

3. That without creating an actual cause of action under HAVA creates a

firewall protecting the enterprise fraud from normal 42 USC 1983

litigation requires RICO investigation methods.


RICO Statement Page 38 of 50
Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-CV-0080 RICO STATEMENT

4. That according to 18 USC §1961(1)(F)

5. That in regards to patterns of fraud:

a.) 18 USC 1961(1) multiple acts in violation of a single statute, and or

b.) multiple acts in violation of more than one statute

(i.)Any RICO pattern requires at least two acts of racketeering, and as

such the patterns existence may turn on the meaning of the term,

and

(ii.) Beyond individual real and personal property used in transaction of

proprietary business, whether individual suffrage is proprietary

property that as with any business may not be passed-on to

another, and the investment of such capital is spent at a primary

and general election that empowers the winning candidate with

authority to fulfill promises made during the campaign that

absolutely effect the individuals liberty and effectiveness of a

citizen in association with like minded individual citizens similarly

invested.

(iii.) In New York the prima facie evidence of multiple and or false

registrations under the NVRA and HAVA having destroyed the

protective firewall afforded in the 1894 State Constitution with

exclusive municipal control over the original database has been

examples in paragraphs 54 & 55, indicates the fiduciary duty of

NYS BOE to maintain a central database to check for and prevent

fraud and misrepresentation, would be similarly evidenced in every

state of the several states and territories.

6. Under the Hobbs Act –18 USC 1961(1) (b) applies when:

(A) Whoever in any way or degree obstructs delays or effects commerce

or the movement of any article or commodity in commerce by extortion

personal property from the person under color of official right.

(B) State whether the same entity is both the liable “person”and the
“enterprise”under § 1962(c).

RESPONSE:

a) There is a quasi-public side of state entity persons in the form of Election

Board(s), Bureau(s) and Department(s) of Secretary of State, along with

the patronage structure created under Government control that enables

private participation by corporate entities whose employees and directors

collaborate both publicly by public request for proposals (RFP) and

privately at private lobby events generally not open to the public - as

evidenced by the appearance of impropriety and conflict of interest

regarding the January 17 thru 20, 2006 Cooperstown New York meeting

b) That in the matter of public disclosure regarding the state responsibility

to detect and prevent misrepresentation and fraud, is exampled by the

Florida Leon County elections supervisor who had determined that

Diebold had fraudulently maintained proprietary software which allowed

for fraudulent modification of vote results without detection, when

actually hacked was discovered, the software provider refused disclosure,

withdrew, and upon issuing new Request for Proposal (RFP) Sequoia and

ES&S when learning of the disclosure in the specification also withdrew

refusing to allow review of proprietary programs that would allow fraud

to occur undetected- just within the last two weeks Diebold has had

second thought and has in fact complied and provided machines to Leon,

but neither Sequoia nor ES&S have done so in New York under the star

chamber process, as they refused in Florida.

(14) If the complaint alleges a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1962(d), describe in


detail the alleged conspiracy.

RESPONSE:

a) So-called “
Bi-partisanship”by consent not competition barring participation by

nearly 40% of the electorate establishes an inherent conspiracy for control,

especially when not done without sunshine, as referenced by the SOS about


Executive sessions”in the Amended Complaint on paragraph 181, in which

star chamber control over patronage policy and purse in New York that since

the 1964 U.S. Supreme Court Decision in WMCA has created the basis for

backroom government by consent rather not competition - must require strict

scrutiny review of patterns and product of fraud under color of NVRA / HAVA;

b) At the national level the private National Association of Secretaries of State

under its chairwoman, the duly elected SOS of New Mexico herein joined

herein by due service, with private corporate entities, coordinates public private

interstate / international partnerships on basis that applies the glue for the deals

necessary for NVRA, OSCE/ODIHR and HAVA imposition to work outside of

c) loss or diminishment of real property and personal property value as a result of

concealment and extortion involved in the local tax levy as under both EL §4-

138 and Medicaid cost imposition, without earmark and segregation;

(16) Describe the direct causal relationship between the alleged injury and the
violation of the RICO statute.

RESPONSE:

a) Congress has used a vague broad use of VAP rather than the narrow CVAP that

would expressly be dependent upon a respective state constitution and related

laws.

b) The Florida 2000 Election process was rigged to produce the end result of

HAVA starting in 1994 by the Clinton administration whose intent with use of

OSCE / ODIHR personnel was to probe the weaknesses and opportunities to

use the media to propagandize for passage HAVA to effect further top-down

control over elections.

c) That Congress intended to circumvent the Federal Constitution Article I section

4 provision of equal time place and manner provision under State plenary

circumvented doing an Article 5 constitutional amendment with NVRA, next

combined with bogus issues using the American with Disabilities Act (ADA)

strawman, that with the Dayton Accords new borders provisional voting scam

now being used in New Orleans following major population relocation due to

the Katrina Hurricane.

d) The EVM industry ongoing coordination with the “


bi-partisan”nature of the

conduct of elections which in many states especially New York bars non-

partisan participation are working together to corner the permanent cash flow

for the annual bottom-line made available at each and every local to national

election as a captive profit center for private industry, even if nothing else as a

matter the appearance of impropriety undermining public confidence in

elections are none the less intent on controlling the substantive outcome as

vendors with an inside political track.

e) Absolute refusal of the State BOE and NYSAG to prevent harboring of illegal

aliens, illegal registration and vote fraud associated without a real time central

database.

multiple residency registration with a central database, that since no later than

implementation of the NVRA, the state of New York has promulgated dilution

and offset of Plaintiffs suffrage capital; and

e) As a simple compensable amount, as if the dollar figure were to be applied to

say equal the total spent on campaign finance matters, both public and private

expenditures for any general election by all candidate committees appearing on

the ballot, is not at all a nominal amount place upon plaintiffs and those

similarly situated as part of total damages, and would have to be offset by a

commensurate amount for alternative results for competitive expectation of

plaintiffs vote effectiveness;

f) In New York actual financial injury must be factored into long-term neglect of

the “

scale that economic merger and consolidation of municipalities, but for reform

of the Judiciary to provide equal plain speedy and efficient remedy in the

various Judicial Districts pertaining to real property but in the 20 year neglect of

budgetary reform and cost of government is a burden passed down to real

10% surcharge over above the rate of inflation upon plaintiffs’revenue and cost

3733, and under the INA the Logan Act applies when aliens are enticed with social

services, education, housing employment and citizenship privilege and harbored,

given sanctuary without permission of Congress, violates 18 USC 953.

(19) List all pendent state claims, if any.

RESPONSE: We are not aware of any in the State of New York Supreme Court;

however, In California, paper voting is making a comeback. The Associated Press


RICO Statement Page 47 of 50
Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-CV-0080 RICO STATEMENT

reports in the Monterey Herald that seven California counties sued for using

disputed Diebold touch-screen machines have removed themselves from the

lawsuit by promising to use paper ballots in their next election. Alameda County,

on the other hand, has chosen on its own to return to paper, as noted in The Contra

Costa Times. In 2004, Alameda's previous vendor, Diebold, paid over two million

dollars to settle a lawsuit involving false claims made when the machines were

sold. The county hopes these problems "are behind them" as Election Day

approaches.

(20) Provide any additional information that you feel would be helpful to the
Court in processing your RICO claim.

RESPONSE:

a) In regards to illegal provision of Medicaid to any illegal alien the state has

recently had $32.5 million offset by the HHS; although the same state agencies

are not involved, nevertheless the sub-division municipalities are presenting

exhibiting a similar pattern of tax levy as with the EL §4-138 whose ongoing

predicates are expected in provision of HAVA false billing.

b) That the city of New York in City of New York v. United States in SDNY Case

96-cv-7758 (JGK), and U.S.C.A. 2nd Circuit 97-6162 (closed), has been

admonished by the Federal courts for its “


don’
t ask don’
t tell”policy as an

unwarranted obstruction of INA in harboring illegal aliens;

RICO Statement Page 48 of 50


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-CV-0080 RICO STATEMENT

c) However, despite the censure NYC continues the “don’


t ask don’
t tell”policy

especially in regards to provision of education, Medicaid, involving Federal

matching assistance to minors within the K thru 12 school system operating

under a state issued identification system (much like that imposed by HAVA)

with intent to circumvent the Social Security Act system to harbor illegal aliens,

who according to the NYS Court of Appeals Decision in the CFE case in NYC

minor aliens constitute of 80% of all children in the system (notwithstanding

Plyler v Doe which is not meant to be enabling legislation merely and

interpretation narrowly defined for those plaintiffs that should be revisited);

d) That a seditious New York State Supreme Court Justice held the executive

policy to withhold of drivers licensure from illegal aliens as unconstitutional

and therefore a result there is no objective barrier for illegals to pose as US

Citizens in New York and elsewhere, and as such facilitates illegals registering

and voting;

e) That Additional information that would be helpful for the Court is set forth in:

1) the Chart of Challenged HAVA Funds Distribution Based upon the State of

New York Board of Elections 31 December 2004 Central Database for Voter

Registration sorted by Percentage of Inactive Persons registered to vote in

one or more municipalities maintained by a total of 62 questionable Boards

of Election with the Fiduciary Duty to maintain an original registration

database for Bottom-up suffrage shown in paragraph 169,

2) The Census Table 1.1 in Amended Complaint Paragraph 197;

3) The California, Texas and New York state comparison chart of "eligibles" in

Amended Complaint paragraph 200;


1

4) The comparison of HAVA b d i n g difficulty between California, Texas and

New York when different interpretations of VAP are used in depicted in

paragraph 206, of the Amended Complaint; and

5) That a schedule of claims has yet to be produced and awaits discovery of the

actual use of the VAP formula of each state of the several states must be

ordered by the DOJ and EAC to comply, then only to be compared with that

which has been actually billed to EAC for reimbursement.

EXTREME MAKEOVER: ALBANY a state of dysfunction

Excelsior, New York's motto of 'ever upward,' has evolved to mean ever
outward,' as tens of thousands of people flee Albany's tyranny; it's time to
get them back

By KEVIN WALTER
News Editorial Writer
4/30/2006
http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20060430/1071401.asp

The decision to move from New York could hardly have been more agonizing for Connie and
Tony Toledo, but they felt they had no choice. Tony had been laid off, and the state's hostile
business policies undermined the towing business he subsequently started. So the family left
Buffalo for North Carolina.

It was 2001 when Tony said goodbye to his lifelong hometown and Connie's adopted home of
15 years. The move devastated everyone: Tony, a product of Lafayette High School and a
devoted Bills fan; his father, Daniel, distraught over his son's departure; and the couple's oldest
child, Rachelle, a high school freshman and cheerleader who tumbled into a yearlong
depression.

"It was rough," remembered Connie.

The Toledos and other families whose experiences are recounted here are but a few of
hundreds of thousands of people who fled upstate New York over the past 40 years. They didn't
leave because of too much snow, or the Bills' Super Bowl frustrations, or lack of a new Peace
Bridge; they didn't decamp for Florida, North Carolina or Arizona because they liked hurricanes,
drought and wildfires.

They left to survive, to find work and an affordable cost of living, with a survivable tax burden.
They relocated to escape a state government that's beholden to special labor, lawyer and
lobbying interests and pays scant attention to taxpayers' needs.

It's not new that New Yorkers pulled up stakes - Excelsior, the state's motto, meaning "ever
upward," seems modified to "ever outward" - or that Albany's government continually
undermines its people. But the time is long past to try to fix it.

In this article and in editorials today through Thursday, The Buffalo News sets out to offer
solutions to a dysfunctional state government. They include a constitutional amendment on term
limits; objective redistricting to create competitive elections; further breaking the power of three
leaders in Albany; developing electoral accountability, rather than responsiveness to special
interests; and re-establishing a two-party system, with legitimate divergent philosophies that
give voters a choice and legislators a vision. Finally, and perhaps most doable, voters need to

1
shrug off their slumber and fight back, taking power and demanding meaningful reforms after
they throw the bums out.

For their part, the Toledo family tried to stay, wanted to stay. Unable to find work after he was
laid off from International Imaging - just eight months after the birth of the couple's third child -
Tony cashed in his retirement savings and borrowed $25,000 from his parents to start a towing
business. But he said that under the weight of the region's weak economy and New York's
exorbitant worker's compensation costs, the venture collapsed. They had to go.

Here is the difference between the economies of Buffalo and Greensboro, N.C. Once Tony
started looking for work there, it took only a couple of days to land a job and a relocation
package. He now works for Golden State Foods, a supplier to McDonald's, and Connie works
as an account representative for a national mortgage company.

Rachelle, now 18 and adjusted to her new life, is a college student (education costs are lower,
the Toledos say). Finally, Tony's parents, also lifelong Buffalonians, packed up and headed
South to be near their family.

It was an ordeal, its pistons driven by the Albany job-killing machine. Still, Connie said, the
Toledos agree that their anguish never altered this fundamental fact: Because of this region's
feeble economy and the obstacles New York puts in the way of business, they were left without
an alternative.

"It was the best decision we could have made," she said.

Numbers set the stage

The numbers only begin to tell the woeful tale of New York, but they make a stark beginning. The figures
- on tax burdens, public spending and population transfer, among others - outline a story of a government
run amok and a state run into the ditch.

But numbers are cold. They only hint at the repercussions they have dealt to the residents of
this woefully mismanaged state: fractured hopes, lost opportunities, divided families. The
reasons behind those misfortunes are multiple and complex, but from a public policy standpoint,
they distill to Albany's deluded belief that New York is still the Empire State, a realm so splendid
that Americans will pay any price to live within its golden borders.

The numbers give the lie to that milk-and-honey fantasy, as well. Here are some, from
Governing magazine's State & Local Source Book for 2005 (figures are per capita, unless
otherwise noted):

* Total tax revenue, state and local, was the nation's highest, $4,645.

* Property tax revenue was fifth-highest, $1,402.

2
* Total spending was second highest, $10,376.

* State and local debt was second highest, $10,306.

* Welfare spending was highest, $1,699, even though the number of recipients per 10,000
residents was only 16th highest.

* K-12 education spending (state and local) was second highest, $2,001, even though school
enrollment as a share of total population was fourth lowest. Spending per-pupil was highest,
$12,059.

* The average pay of state and local employees was second highest, at $52,450.

* The state was 40th in "economic momentum," a ranking of one-year changes in employment,
personal income and population. (It's not about cold and snow, either. Wyoming, Minnesota and
New Hampshire ranked 16, 17 and 18. The Dakotas were 7 and 8.)

The consequences of such numbers are both pernicious and predictable. People are leaving.
New York's share of the national population has steadily eroded, from 9.8 percent at mid-
century to 6.5 percent last year, according to the U.S. Census.

Then, New York controlled 43 of Congress' 435 seats. Today it holds 29. That's a 32 percent
decline. Less representation, less power; less power, less money.

Growth is slow

It's not that the state isn't growing; it's just that others are growing much faster, a trend that is expected to
continue. Census projections are that from 2000 to 2030, New York will grow more slowly than all but
four states. Meanwhile, some areas within New York - including Buffalo - are, in fact, shrinking, leaving
fewer residents to pay the ever-rising tax bill.

New York is the alcoholic among the states, not simply unable to moderate its self-destructive
behavior but uninterested in doing so. What's needed is an intervention. New York needs to
treat not just the symptoms of its compulsion but the underlying disease. It needs to revitalize its
enervated democracy by injecting healthy doses of competition - which is to say, fear - into the
political process.

Independent redistricting, an effective Legislature committee system and a spirited opposition


party are three of the most important reforms needed, but none will happen unless voters
scream it into Albany's besotted face.

Otherwise, it's pass the bottle.

Families split up

3
It doesn't sound like a mother's fondest wish, but Kathleen Jarnot says she's glad her children moved
away.

Glad is a relative term, of course. Jarnot would rather her children lived nearby, but jobs are
scarce. Things would have been difficult for them had they remained in Western New York,
where the children and their parents were born. So her son Jeff left for Virginia while daughters
Susan and Jennifer headed west to California.

"We have wonderful colleges here, but the jobs are there, and I'm glad they went there," said
Jarnot, who lives with her husband Daniel in Cheektowaga.

Daniel Jarnot understands that reality, as well, but he is less forgiving of it. Not only are his
children far away, his only grandson lives in California.

"You lose the normal family life," he said. "I don't like it at all."

For his part, Jeff has few regrets about his move to Reston, Va., where he works in sales for
Oracle, the software giant. Now 36, he worked in sales here for 11/2 years after graduating from
the State University of New York at Potsdam, but soon realized opportunities for advancement
were scarce in Western New York.

In 1995, while visiting a friend in Reston, he saw that the Washington Post's "help wanted"
section was overflowing with ads. He quit his job, sent out six resumes and quickly landed a
new position after just two interviews.

"In Buffalo, you could spend a long time finding a job," he said.

Jarnot has lived in Virginia for 11 years and, but for lingering sorrow over leaving an area he still
loves, never looked back. Why would he? He is selling a house whose value has risen 300
percent since he bought it in 1997. In Cheektowaga, the sale price of the average single-family
home rose just 14 percent over the same period, according to the Buffalo Niagara Association
of Realtors. That's less than one-twentieth the rate of increase.

Badly out of step

New York didn't get this way by accident. In almost every way - economically, culturally, politically,
municipally - the state is in a class by itself. It contains within its borders extremes of wealth and poverty.
It was, and continues to be, a primary port of entry for immigrants. It includes a spectacularly complex
city that is far-and-away the nation's largest, an economic engine and power base unto itself.

As one former state legislator observed, it's no surprise that a state so steeped in diversity - and
in so many forms of it - would look different at the governmental level.

4
But it's one thing to expect the occasional departure from national norms, and far more
consequential when government becomes a compendium of radical departures, most moving it
in damaging directions for its people's welfare.

How consequential? Enough to spawn a Legislature so deviant it has been crowned as the
country's most dysfunctional.

That's a disorder with its own consequences, including a penchant for restricting the flow of
information from, to and within the Legislature, and for delivering squeaky-wheel policies that
benefit favored groups even as they drive out jobs, opportunity and population.

Much of the reason for New York's idiosyncratic government traces to downstate, a region of
enormous political clout, vast disparities of wealth and about zero interest in Albany.
Overwhelmingly Democratic, it elects liberals who have so weighted state government to the left
that Republicans - never too conservative to begin with - are satisfied with playing me-too
politics.

Instead of offering a competing, perhaps healthier, vision of state government, the putatively
conservative party has at best surrendered and at worst joined the opposition. New York
Republicans are the ideological prisoners of their political adversaries, and content to be so.

Unchecked Republican control could be awful, too, of course (see Washington). The problem
arises from the failure of a democratic imperative: a vigorous opposition.

A spending machine

With virtually no political competition to restrain the wild horses of the Democratic left, state government
is a runaway spending machine devoted first to self-preservation, second to its sugar-daddy sponsors and,
lastly, to the New Yorkers they are sworn to represent (and then, often with an asterisk attached).
Consider:

* Spending: Even with two-thirds of the government in Republican hands (the party owns the
Senate and has held the governor's office since 1995), state spending has nonetheless risen by
an average of 6.5 percent a year, 21/2 times the average rate of inflation.

And that's with the conservatives holding sway. During the 12 years Mario M. Cuomo was
governor, when Democrats held the balance of power, annual spending increases averaged a
dizzying 11.6 percent percent, though the ratio to inflation was about the same.

And remember: Those feverish growth rates are for a state whose per-capita spending is
already the nation's second highest.

* Self-preservation: New York lawmakers are expert at drawing "designer districts" - with oddly
drawn boundaries whose purpose is to deliver to incumbents of both parties legislative districts
that only a cadaver could lose.

5
In complying with the constitutional requirement to ensure proportional representation, states
must draw new districts after each census. Like many states, though, New York turns what
should be a civic act into a political one, bending lines to pack enough partisans into any given
district that a candidate of the wrong party has no chance of winning. Democrats keep the
Assembly and Republicans the Senate.

As Barbara Bartoletti of the New York State League of Women Voters told a local audience this
year: "Your elected officials get to choose you before you choose them."

That's only the start of how lawmakers in New York maneuver to protect their electoral flanks.
Strategically lax rules on lobbying, fund-raising and ethics give them a huge advantage over
challengers, enough to discourage many potential opponents even from running.

In addition, New York is one of the few states with an unregulated system of "member items" -
tax dollars given to individual legislators to distribute as they see fit. It's a kind of legalized vote-
buying.

* Favored groups: If you're a health care worker, a trial lawyer or one of a few other special
interests, good news. The levers of influence are within your grasp. If you're but a taxpayer, or a
small business owner trying to make it in an unfriendly state, you'll have to get in line. Your
problems may not be completely irrelevant to lawmakers (then again, they may), but they are of
decidedly less interest.

A couple of examples: Until Congress invalidated an antiquated state statute last year, car
companies could be held liable, sometimes for millions of dollars, if one of their leasing
customers injured someone while driving the vehicle. Part of the reason that law remained on
the books is the political clout of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, which wanted to
retain a law that gave them easy access to potentially rich lawsuits. Assembly Speaker Sheldon
Silver, a lawyer, is associated with a personal injury law firm.

Even more scandalously, the state's most powerful health care labor union, SEIU Local 1199,
drove a massive increase in the state's Medicaid program a few years ago. Sitting at the public
negotiating table as Gov. George E. Pataki and the two legislative leaders hammered out the bill
was the union president, Dennis Rivera. The reason: State leaders, especially Pataki, were
intimidated by the public beating Rivera and his wealthy organization could give them. Rivera
and his interests cut to the front of the line.

* The public interest: Fair-minded people would acknowledge that the 1999 expansion of
Medicaid, which created an insurance program known as Family Health Plus, included a
legitimate public component - even if it was rammed through the Legislature for political reasons
with no hearings, no debate and no real sense of its implications. The program, serving New
York's working poor, had a March enrollment of more than half a million people.

Ah, but that asterisk. The program was, at its inception, an expensive payoff to an unelected
powerbroker. Hofstra University law professor Eric Lane is more caustic about it. A former chief

6
counsel to the State Senate minority and primary researcher on the report that tagged the
Legislature as "dysfunctional," Lane calls the Rivera power grab a "sleaze job."

If an essential part of lawmakers' job is to be good and honest stewards of New Yorkers' tax
dollars, then they failed. It's not a recent problem, either.

High taxes a burden

It didn't take Gary Newton long to figure out he was going to have to leave Western New York to pursue
a career in agriculture. Unable to find work after he graduated from the State University of New York at
Geneseo with a bachelor of science degree, he left Niagara County for the Peace Corps.

He returned to Middleport two years later but stayed less than half a year. With his best job
prospect setting out rat bait in Niagara Falls, he left again, this time to pursue his doctorate.

That was 27 years ago. In more than a quarter century, things haven't changed in upstate New
York. Or in Albany, which he believes shares responsibility for the region's economic blight.

"I have cousins and an aunt and uncle still in Western New York," said Newton, a researcher
and professor at Prairie View A&M University near Houston. "They complain about the high
taxes."

High is right, especially compared to Texas, with no income tax and property tax rates that
would make a New Yorker swoon. Newton and his wife own an 1,800-square-foot house that
sits on half an acre. Their combined property tax bill - county, city and school - is $1,500.

A quarter century on, Newton says he still misses the area, and as recently as a year ago was
looking for ways to return. A possibility at SUNY-Geneseo didn't pan out, so it's on to year 28.

Excelsior.

A history of corruption

A thread of corruption runs through the history of government in New York, especially over the past
century or so. And while today's corruption is less about criminality than it is about sustaining a
purposefully anti-democratic power structure, the roots of the tree reach deep into the soil of a felonious
past.

Tammany Hall is a prime example. The corrupt Democratic political machine that ruled New
York City politics for decades was a de facto influence on Albany, as well.

Under the influence of Tammany Hall and its then-leader, William Marcy Tweed - "Boss Tweed"
- the governor and Legislature passed laws specifically designed to give Tammany greater
ability to ply its corruption, including the outright thievery of public money.

7
If that kind of overt criminality has largely bleached out of state government, its stain lingers in a
conspiracy of practices designed to stifle democratic debate by concentrating power in the two
legislative leaders.

Other, more legitimate reasons may also help explain that kind of autocratic power structure. By
some observers' reckoning, for example, the state's vast scale of social and economic diversity
requires a strong leadership model to prevent the chambers from splintering into hostile
factions.

Nevertheless, the parallels between the Legislature and the corrupt political boss system are
evident. In each, the leader calls the shots, and the followers - that is, the remaining 215 state
legislators - do as they're told, or else they're punished. They don't ask too many questions and
they don't have too much power, but they hold safe seats, draw healthy paychecks and, for
better or worse, leave some kind of mark on the history of New York.

"You can see Tammany Hall, without the corruption," said Lane.

A network of abuses

The Brennan Center for Justice detailed this and other government disorders two years ago in an
explosive report called "The New York State Legislative Process: An Evaluation and Blueprint for
Reform." The report, which famously (and accurately) tagged the New York State Legislature as the
nation's "most dysfunctional," contained a laundry list of offenses that empower the leaders, penalize
taxpayers and insulate the institution from the competition of adversaries and, worse, of ideas.

These include:

* A sham system of legislative committees that rarely considers pending bills and whose staffs
are beholden to each chamber's leader.

* An approval system that discourages or prevents debate on pending legislation.

* Unequal funding of legislators' staff costs, depending on their political party.

* Iron control by each leader over which bills make it to the floor for a vote. That ensures that
only bills the leaders favor can become law, and given the unhealthy influence leaders exert
over their timorous members, that every bill that comes to a vote passes.

Most broadly, the report cites five fundamental values served by a well-functioning legislature -
representativeness, deliberativeness, accessibility, accountability and efficiency - and concludes
that New York's Legislature flunks all of them. The report is available online at
www.brennancenter.org.

8
The report caused a flurry of activity in Albany, where the state budget, late for 20 consecutive
years, arrived on time in 2005, as it did this year. And some legitimate reforms followed,
including an end to "empty-seat voting" in the Assembly. That's the process by which lawmakers
who sign in for the day were automatically counted as having voted with the majority unless they
make a point to show up and vote otherwise. The Senate's response was muddier, but
Bartoletti, of the League of Women Voters, said she's seen no substantive change.

But the history of Albany reform is to do as little as possible, declare a new day and go about
business as usual. That's what has happened since the detonation of the Brennan Center
report.

Departing is such sorrow

It pains Thomas Mullane that he had to leave his native Buffalo. And it distresses him that he
may never be able to return to an area he calls home to "some of the nicest people in the
world."

But in North Carolina, Mullane found professional success that he says would never have been
his had he remained in the economic wasteland of upstate New York. He also found lower
taxes, a friendlier business climate and citizens who do not make a lifelong project of hindering
their region's progress.

Mullane, his wife Kim and their two young children left Buffalo for Winston-Salem last May. The
39-year-old insurance investigator saw no prospect of professional advancement anywhere in
upstate New York and made the wrenching decision to leave behind not only the city he loves,
but his larger family.

It was the right choice, he said. In Winston-Salem, his family settled into a 2,100-square-foot
home, about 25 percent larger than the home he left but with a tax bill almost 60 percent
smaller.

"It's amazing to me," said Mullane, who keeps up on Buffalo. "Taxes are still in the forefront of
the news there, but they're not a story in North Carolina. They're just not an issue."

As with the Toledo family, the Mullanes' move had a domino effect. Not long after he left, his
wife's parents made the jump, too, partly to find work and partly to be near their grandchildren.
One family fled New York, pulling another in its wake.

Mullane says his mother still hopes he'll return to this area, but he's doubtful.

"I love Buffalo," he said, "and I like New York State . . . If they just made it friendlier to live there
. . ."

Relators’MOL Response to NYS MTD –Page 3


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-cv-80

I. Relators Response to NYS MOL Point I

The mandatory existence of the Secretary of State (SOS) historically since the

April 20, 1777 founding of the state of New York, as the Federally essential

State voice mediating the external affairs of the State per se is the essential party

defined in Federal Law and State Law that by operation of the Constitution

under article I, II and VI, predates that of the Attorney General and under girds

the legitimacy and broad definition of “


Fiduciary Duty”separate and apart from

that of the “
Chief Law Enforcement Officer”the Attorney General. Plaintiffs

allege no less than substantive violation of NYS Civil Rights Law Chapter 6

Article 5A (CRL), (cited by Forjone in his Declaration) by both SOS Daniels

and NYSAG Spitzer, and with even more machinations have materially

participated as willing participants in the enterprise and racketeering activity

associated with harboring of Illegal Aliens as is associated with plaintiffs injury

directly along with those similarly situated, and that by substantively denying

due process in regards to the sanctity of the municipal provision of suffrage for

the people resident within who have in effect been reduced to peons on

plantations not municipalities subject to princes and principalities in violation of

US Citizens 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th 8th 9th 10th 13th amendment rights as guaranteed and

protected for equal treatment under the 14th herein denied by the SOS and

NYSAG.

Relators’MOL Response to NYS MTD –Page 4


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-cv-80

II. Pattern of conduct by Secretary of State

A. Fiduciary Duty under NYS Civil Rights Law Chapter 6 Article 5A-

that each and every supposed municipality since the 1777 founding must

be duly recorded and maintained, whether as a quasi-corporation, full

corporation and or association as defined by the statute. That the CRL

clearly establishes a clear standard of review and performance for both the

SOS and NYSAG who are alleged to have not only failed, but have acted

individually in a partisan manner in breech of their oaths of office.

B. Randy Daniels’response v. Christopher L. Jacobs’response - the

significant prima facie evidence of intentional and willful lack of response

starting no later than April 22, 2002 by Mr. Daniels as a partisan serving

to disassemble and misconstrue the state record in the matter of plenary

provision of bottom-up suffrage in “


Homerule”municipalities with a

Board of elections within as to the implementation of NVRA and HAVA,

and by denying Plaintiffs’civil rights against the intrigues associated

with the so-called municipalities and agents acting in violation of CRL.

We refer to the stark contrast between the response shown as EXHIBIT 2

to the CRL FOIL in Declarants’EXHIBITs 1 and 4, versus that afforded

by SOS Jacobs shown in EXHIBIT 3.

Relators’MOL Response to NYS MTD –Page 5


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-cv-80

III.Orleans not a municipality is subject to a Principality in fact- that based

upon the response shown as EXHIBIT 3 Plaintiffs are hard pressed to

characterize what exactly “


Orleans”per se is or is not, and certainly is prima

facie evidence of everything that is alleged of both the complaint and is in stark

contrast to the requirement of the operation of the State Constitution and Law,

especially its agents are in violation of CRL.

A. NYS Association of Counties(NYSAC) and the NYMIR –conflict of

interest the role of NYSAC and NYMIR by operation of the CRL must be

receive strict scrutiny review for a product of fraud.

B. Municipalities must qualify for a Board of Elections within the fact

that the NYS Board of Elections has classified ALL the so-called

municipal Boards of Election as non-complying with not only HAVA but

state Election Law as well as shown by the compliance submission

submitted to the court in NDNY 06-cv-263 herewith marked as

EXHIBIT 15, must receive strict scrutiny review for a product of fraud.

C. Questionable “Bipartisan”County Party structure EL 2-100 that the

ongoing jurisdiction by Judge John Gleeson in the Torres et.al. v. NYS

et.al. EDNY 04-cv-1129 Brooklyn Democratic Party Committee as a

questionable association acting as a racketeering enterprise is germane

Relators’MOL Response to NYS MTD –Page 6


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-cv-80

herein especially when ,measured by operation of the EXHIBIT 3

disclosure and statute.

IV. Proposed Municipal merger and consolidation law (EXHIBIT 9) the

fact that Strunk in spring of 2004 interviewed State Senator Little in Her Capitol

Office before She sponsored the merger bill goes to the absolute recognition and

admission that there is unequal provision of law for the People resident within

existing so-called municipalities with a Board of Elections within; absolutely

goes to the fiduciary duty of both the SOS and NYSAG to provide a heightened

standard of care to protect civil rights under CRL –isn’


t done.

A. NYS Constitution Article III and IX –ipso facto without belaboring

the operation of law is essential for any review by the Court herein; and

that with special reference to the history of local government with

background associated with the syllabus provided by Buffalo University

in the study of Local Government remarkably lacking substantive review

of the role of legislative representation dedicated to the people within any

such municipality entitled to control of bottom-up suffrage; we reserve

further discussion and elaboration for our response to the various

Defendant State Subdivisions accordingly.

Relators’MOL Response to NYS MTD –Page 7


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-cv-80

B. Greater Batavia solution presented by Forjone to the SOS Foil shown

as EXHIBIT 1 is essential to be properly understood and goes to

Amended Complaint paragraph 175 in the Historical review of the

creation of New York sub-division municipalities from 1683 through

1914. In short Genesee County (1802) is created from Ontario County

born in 1789 of Montgomery County born in 1784 of Albany County per

se, and in conjunction with Federal Fort Stanwix treaty of the Six Nations.

Thereafter, Allegany (1806), Cattaraugus (1808), Chautauqua (1808),

Niagara (1808) are spawn; and then thereafter subdivided from Genesee,

Niagara creates Erie in 1821, and then jointly Genesee and Ontario in

1821 spawn Livingston, Monroe, and then Genesee spawns Orleans in

1828 and then Wyoming in 1841 as a development of economic growth

associated with the Erie canal. The EXHIBIT 1 solution is entirely

grounded on real history and substantive law must be seen by both SOS

and NYS AG under the CRL as essential.

C. The Northwest District of New York characterization herewith by

Plaintiffs based upon the discovery of May 6, 2006 response to the March

27 2006 FOIL request coincidently the same day that the NYS MOL was

entered herein no less than 5 weeks late by operation of state law goes to

the prima facie non-existence of 47 State Subdivisions as alleged in the

Relators’MOL Response to NYS MTD –Page 8


Forjone et.al. v. EAC et.al. WDNY 06-cv-80

Amended Complaint leaving only those entitled to a Board of Elections

with reference in Amended Complaint paragraph 17(a) thru (k) draws into

question the continued intent of Congress when it enacted 28 USC 112

June 25 1948. There are no boundary conditions separating the so-called

Northern from Western District per se only the Northwestern District is

separated by Boundary defined by Orange and Dutchess County per se of

the Southern District of New York notwithstanding the configuration

within also being questionable within the city of New York per se and the

actual legal boundary of Eastern District accordingly herein challenged

per the ramification associated with EXHIBIT 4. This is a serious Federal

matter only to be resolved in Federal Jurisdiction of this court within

Second Circuit. When and IF DOJ should respond at the direction of the

Court Plaintiffs reserve the opportunity to develop this matter further with

leave of the Court as pertains to provision of plain speedy and efficient

remedy within this circuit now in question.

V. Patterns of Conduct by NYS AG Eliot Spitzer


As provided by the Strunk Declaration the Pattern of NYSAG Spitzer Actions

with the enterprise per se referenced in the RICO Statement in the

two categories studied in the matter of His breech of Fiduciary duty under CRL

are AG Spitzer's political decisions to act in the matter of Medicaid Fraud

Feb-2001 NYSAG Press Release alleging “


Finds Changes Are Needed to

bi-partisan”effort as referenced by the release quoting Senator McCain

whose friendly suit in Molinari v. Powers skirting the collapse in the

enforcement of Election Law Provision under both EL §2-100 and EL §

4-100 after the WMCA v. Lomenzo 377 U.S. 633 case in 1964, which in

the creation of the state constitutional “


bi-partisanship”
, however

outrageously missing, has NEVER been addressed even by Judge Korman

or now Judge Gleeson - both whistle past the issue for partisan

Democratic party gain. That the pattern of partisanship must be seen in

conjunction with the admission on the transcript of proceeding in NDNY

06-cv-263 (a copy herewith marked EXHIBIT 14) that NYSAG is unable

to represent the interests if the people of New York as The Amended

Complaint in the Background Facts and RICO Statement overall are dead-

on in the matter of the conspiracy to impose top-down Federal Control

over elections and with final elimination of the Electoral College and the

willful and partisan conspiratorial role of Eliot Spitzer is more than

apparent on February 12, 2001 especially after the Kabuki drama having

been forced upon the public in Bush v. Gore.

C. Peter Lance on Eliot Spitzer and Dietrich Snell 1993 to the present

Is a matter which will be discussed at length in the response Plaintiffs

will submit in conjunction with DOJ involvement.

CONCLUSION IN SUPPORT OF
DECLARATORY JUDGMENT AND EQUITY RELIEF

Relators urge the court to deny NYS Defendants MTD and grant a declaratory
judgment in the matter of overly vague and broad use of the Help America to
Vote Act (HAVA) Federal funds disbursement formula without the narrow
respective state law determinant definition of “
Voting Age Population”(VAP), as
well as being relators under the False Claims Act per 31 USC 3729 thru 3733
(FCA); and that a Declaratory Judgment and need for equity relief warrants a
Court order of the DOJ to go back and review all HAVA state compliance plans
in light of the declaratory judgment for the purposes of HAVA funds offset and
penalties to be levied under the FCA. Believe as apropos to point out and argue
herein that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places and as such are entitled to further and different relief
deemed justice by this Court. The Foregoing is certified and declared to be true
and correct under penalty of perjury and respectfully submitted by:

12. On 12 May 2006 I received from Plaintiff Gabe Razzano a copy of the NYS AG

FOIL Response letter #03363 dated 25 September 2003 therein with a copy of 1 October

2002 Assurance of Discontinuation settlement in lieu of litigation between NYS AG and ADC

Contracting and Construction, Inc. who had employed illegal aliens and covered in the

October 3 Press Release by the NYSAG, a copy of the letter herewith marked EXHIBIT 8.

13. In light of the RICO Statement in the Forjone v EAC case WDNY 06-cv-80

requiring demonstration of a pattern of conduct by Attorney General Spitzer as part of the

enterprise in support of Harboring Illegal Aliens as a part of Racketeering Activity in

violation of :

18 USC §1028 (a)(1)(4)(7)(c)(1)(2)(3)(d)(1)(f)- (fraud and related activity in


connection with identification documents)
18 USC §1324 (a) (1) (A) (iii.) (iv.) (Harboring illegal aliens)
18 USC §1341 (mail fraud)
18 USC §1343 (wire fraud)

of racketeering Enterprise)
18 USC §1957 –(engaging in monetary transaction in property derived from specific
unlawful activity)

14. As such I have done a first approximation statistical study of the annual press

releases by the NYS AG Spitzer from 1999 thru 2006 currently totaling 1922.

15. The two categories studied are AG Spitzer's political decisions to act in the matter

of Medicaid Fraud and recovery of Alien Labor "wages" . With particular note is the rate of

percentage change as a result of the whistleblower Medicaid Fraud case Forjone v Leavitt

WDNY 05-cv-395, wherein both the Medicaid and HAVA cases both involve harboring of

illegal aliens by the AG et.al.; the chart follows:

aliens resulting in a DOJ investigation and fine in January 2006, the AG nearly tripled

the annual litigation over that of the 8 year mean in both categories; however, in the Alien

wage recovery matter thru January 2006 still was an increasing matter, but culminates in his

4-28-06 threat to employers not to fire illegal aliens on May 1 for those protest marching on

company time or else suffer litigation - which ips0 facto is prima facie evidence of extortion

F h e r , we are denied a "Bi-partisan" Board of Elections capable of creating Election Districts

That notwithstanding anything that the State Legislature has or has not done, it is our
understanding that the Secretary of State ("SOS")has the jurisdiction and authority to protect

among no less than 37 such municipalities that do. not comply with formation of Election

The State Constitution Article Ill Section 5 mandates both dissolution of any

and Election Law, that shall meet the Bottom-up suffrSlge and Homerule autonomy now missing
in the non-conforming municipalities inter alia of Orleans Genesee and Wyoming.
The existing Boards of Election in the municipalities of Orleans, Genesee and Wyoming,

any NEW entity's Board of Elections, in the interim MUST be under SOS dominion and control
until such time that the Muraicipalify of Greater Batavia legislative body provides for Homerule
due process for the People's sufliage and autonomy thereafkr.
That after formation, the MunicipaIit,~(?fGreaterBntavia if by the Census 2010

Regarding: The New York State Constitution, and

Subject: Application for the Municipalitv of Greater Brookhn
The Secretary of State,

We are the AD HOC Committee to incorporate the Municipality of Greater Brooklyn by


application hereby. We are residents of the existing municipality of the city of New York within
the Borough of Brooklyn that is without Homerule autonomy, and are representative of a class of
"'
PEOPLE denied equal treatment in suffrage and autonomy therein the 1gthSenate District
("SDs"), that violates the 42 USC 1973 Voting Rights Act ("VRA) with a derninimus variation
exceeding the 10% from the mean number of Eligible Voters active, plus inactive or unregistered
notwithstanding total persons; and further, therein are denied our 1 4 ' ~
Amendment right against
speech infringement guaranteed by the State Constitution Article I, 11, Article 111Section 4 inter
alia by the 1/3 Rule, Article IX fundamental right to have ALL Election Districts ("EDs") created
per Election Law ("EL") 4-1 00, are denied a "Bi-partisan" Election Districts ( 2 ) and elections per
EL 2-1 10,3-300, 3-400,3-401, EL 6-124, EL 6-140, EL 8-202- infringes the PEOPLE'S speech
and expectation of effective suffrage. That the People of the adjoining Boroughs of Staten Island,
Qaeens, Bronx, w i t h the Municipality of the city of New York by its municipal Board of
Elections in Manhattan also suffer unequal protection for suffrage and autonomy injury are
without equal treatment and substantive dues process - are not in conformance with the Law.
Furthermore, the class has been denied equal protection, substantive due process, and speech
infringement by Misters Silver, Bruno and Pataki et.al., since no later than April 2002, use the
Federal 2000 Census enumeration total population ignore Eligible Voters in reapportionment of
municipalities' Senate Districts and Assembly Districts ("ADS"), are not coterminous w i t h the
respective SDs also effects Congressional Districts per US Constitution Article 1 Section 2.

'New York State Constitution Article IX "Local Government" definition of the "PEOPLE" (d) Whenever
used in this Article the following terms shall mean or include ... (3) "PEOPLE." Persons entitled to vote
as provided in section one of Article two of this constitution.

' Bottom-up versus Top-down suffrage and autonomy in each m u n i c ~ aentity


) MUST be done first by creating ALL
the EDs under EL 4-100 in every legitimate municipal entity around the State MUST be either 950 active voters
each or if approved by a County Legislature the COUNTY Boards (28 of which are illegal because each does not a
have an Assembly district to oversee within) are allowed to maintain EDs up to 1150 Active voters each not to vary
more than 50 active voters each - systematically missing throughout the state despite requirements of law. The
additional problem of inactive voters and those eligible however not registered have been neglected by Defendants
especially the Governor - under the NVRA and HAVA- don't promote suffrage participation and their location.
That notwithstanding anything that the State Legislature has or has not done, it is our
understanding that the Secretary of State ("SOS") has the jurisdiction and authority to protect our
civil rights under the above referenced Civil Rights Law, and in conjunction with any corporation
and or association requires registration, SOS may incorporate and dissolve any artificial person
or association that is determined not to conform with the proper administration and application of
the State Constitution and Laws - the city of New York contains the boroughs within without
Homerule that do not comply with formation of Election Districts ("EDs"), Assembly Districts.
Senate Districts ("SDs"), and Judicial Districts ("JD") with multi-representative elections within
an entity.
That the State Constitution Article I11 Section 4 per the 1/3 Rule and the $5 Rule
mandates dissolution of any nonconforming entity, in that NYC per se unconstitutionally has 26
Senators rather than the 20 of 62, requires reconstituting a Homerule entity. Therefore, we
require that the NEW municipality ofGreater Brooklyn contain the existing Borough of
Brooklyn that lost Homerule under Mayor Wagner, that now per Article 111, Article VI, Article
IX and Article I1 has sufficient numbers of PEOPLE within as part of the total 62 SDs to support
no less than say 7 SDs within, notwithstanding .45 SD remainder, and at least 17 ADS within of
150 total ADS notwithstanding say a .75 AD shared, and notwithstanding those incarcerated in
State penitentiaries that must be enumerated at the domicile of conviction only. Furthermore, the
NYSC Article I1 and Election Law requires under CRL that the Secretary of State has the power
to create and maintain a new Board of Elections within any new municipality or existing
municipality to conform with the Constitution and Election Law. That conformance shall meet
the Bottom-up suffrage and Homerule autonomy now missing in the municipality of the city of
New York when it allows the existing non-conforming Boards of Election in Brooklyn, Staten
Island, Queens, the Bronx and Manhattan to each operate differently without legislative oversight
denies unequal protection for partisan rather than "Bi-partisan" provision of suffrage.
The existing Boards of Election in the municipalities of Manhattan, Bronx, Queens,
Staten Island and Brooklyn, as among others, must be made conforming or decommissioned.
That the NEW Board of Elections of the Municipality of Greater Brooklyn with Homerule must
be separate NYC; with Homerule has say 1,220,751 active Eligible Voters plus those eligible but
inactive and or unregistered are PEOPLE within say 2,465,326 total persons enumerated by
Census 2000, notwithstanding total persons ineligible to vote or those incarcerated in State
penitentiaries with domicile at the place of conviction. That any non-conforming Board of
Elections in the interim MUST be under SOS dominion and control until such time its legislature
assures Homerule due process for People's Bottom-up suffrage and autonomy thereafter.
Please provide this Ad Hoc Committee with a SOS opinion in this matter along with the
necessary information under the Freedom of Information Law to complete this transaction by no
later than the close of the November 2005 election cycle. Respectively submitted by:

1. SCOPE OF EXAMINATION

The prior examination was conducted as of December 31, 1994. This examination covers the five

year period from January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1999 and was limited in its scope to a review or

audit of only those balance sheet items considered by this Department to require analysis, verification or

description, including: invested assets, losses, and loss adjustment expenses. The examination included a

review of income, disbursements and Reciprocal records deemed necessary to accomplish such analysis or

verification and utilized, to the extent considered appropriate, work performed by the Reciprocal’s

independent public accountants. A review or audit was also made of the following items as called for in

the Examiners Handbook of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners:

History of Reciprocal
Management and control
Corporate records
Fidelity bond and other insurance
Territory and plan of operation
Market conduct activities
Growth of Reciprocal
Business in force
Reinsurance
Accounts and records
Financial statements

A review was made to ascertain what action was taken by the Reciprocal with regard to comments

and recommendations contained in the prior report on examination.

which involve departure from laws, regulation or rules, or which are deemed to require explanation or

description.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE RECIPROCAL

The New York Municipal Insurance Reciprocal is an insurer, as defined in Section 107(a)(37) of

the New York Insurance Law and organized pursuant to the provisions of Article 61 of the New York

Insurance Law. As provided by the provisions of Section 6102(b) of the New York Insurance Law the

declaration creating a municipal reciprocal was approved by Superintendent on August 23, 1993. The

Reciprocal was licensed on August 31, 1993 and commenced operations on the same day.

The Reciprocal was organized to provide a market source for New York State counties, towns,

villages, cities or district corporations organized and existing under the Finance Law of the State of New

York. NYMIR’s policyholders engage in the business of inter-insurance on the reciprocal plan, through

an Attorney-in-Fact. Each policyholder is a subscriber and only policyholders may be subscribers. The

subscribers share proportionately in all losses, expenses, and profits of the reciprocal, based on the

percentage their premium represents to the total written premium by NYMIR. To provide surplus,

NYMIR requires each subscriber, as a prerequisite to the initial purchase of an insurance policy, to

contribute to the surplus of NYMIR in accordance with such plan as developed by its Board of Governors.

Subscribers are required to contribute 20% of their initial surplus contribution or 8% percent of gross

premiums in each of the first five years, or at their option accelerate such contributions.

In accordance with Section 6102(12) of the New York Insurance Law, NYMIR has selected not to

be subject to coverage by the Property/Casualty Insurance Security Fund under Article 76 of the New

York Insurance Law. Accordingly, NYMIR issues assessable policies which provide for unlimited

contingent several liability for assessment of its subscribers.

A. Management

(i) Board of Governors

Pursuant to a declaration executed by the Superintendent of Insurance and Section 6102 of the

New York Insurance Law a board of governors was elected to act on behalf of the subscribers with powers

to supervise and control the Attorney-in-Fact and to control investment of the assets of the reciprocal

insurer, along with such power as may be conferred by the articles of association and the Subscribers’

Agreement. The Articles of Incorporation and the Subscribers’ Agreement specify that the board of

governors should consist of no fewer than nine members. As of December 31, 1999, the board of

governors was comprised of thirteen members.

As of December 31, 1999, the members of the board of governors together with their residence

and principal business affiliations were as follows:

The minutes of all of the meetings of the board of governors held during the examination period

were reviewed. The review indicated that the board held twenty regular meetings during the period,

January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1999, and that such meetings were well attended by the members.

The principal officers of the Reciprocal as of December 31, 1999 were as follows:

Name Title

Dominic F. Mazza President


John Gilfeather Vice- President
Gale Hatch Secretary
Sandra Frankel Treasurer

(ii) Attorney-in-Fact Agreement

The New York State Local Government Service Foundation, Inc. (“NYSLGF”), a New York not-

for-profit corporation, was appointed as the Attorney-in-Fact for NYMIR pursuant to an organization

meeting held on August 24, 1993. This appointment authorized the Attorney-in-Fact to enter into all
6

contracts necessary for the operations of NYMIR. In March 1995, a formal agreement was executed by

NYMIR to confirm the appointment of NYSLGF as the Attorney-in-Fact.

The members of the board of directors and the officers of NYSLGF as of December 31, 1999 are

as follows:

Directors

Jeffery Haber
Edward Farrell
Robert Gregory

Officers

G. Jeffery Haber President


Edward Farrell Vice-President
Robert Gregory Secretary and Treasurer

(iii) Management Agreement

Pursuant to a management agreement dated August 27, 1993, Wright Risk Management (f/k/a

Wright Municipal Company, Inc.) was appointed to manage the day to day operations of NYMIR and to

assist the Attorney-in-Fact and the board of governors in the performance of their responsibilities pursuant

to the Subscriber’s Agreement and the New York Insurance Law. This agreement was renewed in 1998

with an effective date of July 1, 1998, for a five year term. In accordance with the terms of the new

agreement, the general scope of services to be rendered by the Manager includes staffing and facilities,

underwriting and policyholders services, engineering and management services, claims and loss control

services, and accounting services. The agreement also states that WRM shall receive a fee of 15.5% of all

gross written premiums, except that the fee shall be 17.5% of gross premium for any new business for the

first year only.


7

In addition, the management agreement contains a provision regarding the settlement of claims.

This provision, however, is not specific as to WRM’s responsibility for the run-off of NYMIR’s claims in

the event of termination of the management agreement. It is recommended that the Reciprocal take the

necessary steps to amend its management agreement to provide more precise wording in regard to WRM’s

responsibility for the running-off of both known and incurred but not reported claims in the event that the

management agreement is terminated.

B. Territory and Plan of Operation

As of the examination date, the Reciprocal was licensed in the State of New York pursuant to

Article 61 of the New York Insurance Law to transact only the kinds of insurance as defined in the

following numbered paragraphs of Section 1113(a) of the New York Insurance Law:

Paragraph Kind of Insurance

4 Fire
5 Miscellaneous property
6 Water damage
7 Burglary and theft
8 Glass
9 Boiler and machinery
10 Elevator
13 Personal injury liability
14 Property damage liability
19 Motor vehicle and aircraft
physical damage
20 Marine and inland marine

Based upon the line of business for which the Reciprocal is licensed and pursuant to the

requirements of Article 61 of the New York Insurance Law, the Reciprocal is required to maintain surplus

to policyholders in the amount of $1,800,000.


8

The Reciprocal is licensed to write business only in the State of New York. Most of its business is

produced either directly or through a network of brokers.

It was noted in the prior report on examination that the Reciprocal was accepting policy

applications and collecting premiums for certain lines of business that it was not licensed to write (boiler

and machinery, fidelity and surety, and inland marine insurance) and remitting such premium amounts to

other insurance entities. It was recommended in the prior report on examination that the Reciprocal

refrain from collecting premiums on behalf of other insurers, and that they devise an alternative method of

enabling their policyholders to obtain boiler and machinery, fidelity and surety, and inland marine

coverage.

It was noted during this examination that the Reciprocal has partially complied with the above

recommendation. The Reciprocal is now licensed to write boiler and machinery and inland marine

business. The Reciprocal, however, continues to accept applications and premiums for fidelity and surety

insurance and a certain parts of inland marine insurance for which it is not licensed. It was noted that the

premium collected for these lines of business have been reduced substantially. It is, however, again

recommended that the Reciprocal comply with the prior report on examination recommendation in that

the Reciprocal should refrain from collecting premiums on behalf of other insurers, and devise an

alternative method of enabling its policyholders to obtain fidelity and surety, inland marine (earthquake)

insurance coverages.

C. Reinsurance

The Schedule F data as contained in the Reciprocal’s annual statements filed for the years within

the examination period was found to accurately reflect its reinsurance transactions.
9

The examiner reviewed all ceded reinsurance contracts effected during the examination period.

All of these contracts contained the required standard clauses, including insolvency clauses meeting the

requirements of Section 1308 of the New York Insurance Law.

It was noted that two of the Reciprocal’s automatic facultative agreements (first property excess of

loss and casualty excess of loss) included an offset clause that was not compliance with Section 7427 of

the New York Insurance Law. The clause in the contract reads as follows: “ In the absence of applicable

law, either party may offset mutual debts and credits.” It is recommended that the Reciprocal amend the

captioned agreement to include the following wording, “In the event of the insolvency of either party to

this agreement then offsets shall be allowed to the extent permitted by the provisions of the New York

Insurance Law Section 7427”.

A review of the Reciprocal’s boiler and machinery reinsurance agreement shows that such contract

was still in draft form and was not signed by each respective party. Chapter 22 of the National

Association of Insurance Commissioners Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual states the

following:

“…if a contract entered into, renewed or amended on or after January 1, 1994 has not been
finalized, reduced to a written form and signed by the parties within nine months after the commencement
of the policy period covered by the reinsurance arrangement, then the arrangement is presumed to be
retroactive and must be accounted for as a retroactive reinsurance contract.”

A review of Schedule F, Part 3 of the Reciprocal’s annual statement shows that the amounts ceded

and recoverable under this agreement are not material and no change has been made to the financial

statements in this report. It is, however, recommended in the future that the Reciprocal comply with

Chapter 22 of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners Accounting Practices and Procedures

Manual and record its reinsurance transactions accordingly.


10

As of the examination date, the Reciprocal had the following working excess of loss and quota

share reinsurance program in place:

D. Significant operating ratios

The following ratios have been computed as of December 31, 1999, based upon the results of this

examination:

Net premiums written in 1999 to surplus as regards policy holders 96.14%

Liabilities to liquid assets (cash and invested assets less investments in


affiliates) 68.47%

Premiums in course of collection to Surplus as regards policyholders 1.59%

The above ratios fall within the benchmark ranges set forth in the Insurance Regulatory

Information System of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).

The underwriting ratios presented below are on an earned/incurred basis and encompass the five-

year period covered by this examination:

Amounts Ratios

Losses incurred $14,059,463 37.74%


Loss adjustment expenses incurred 12,416,912 33.34
Other underwriting expenses incurred 10,008,819 26.87
Net underwriting gain (loss) 763,444 2.05

Premiums earned $37,248,638 100.00%

E. Abandoned Property

Section 1316 of the Abandoned Property Law requires insurance companies to report to the

comptroller’s office annually on or before April 1 any properties that are deemed abandoned and have
14

been unclaimed for a three- year period. This filing is required by all companies regardless of whether

they have any abandoned property to report.

It was noted that the Reciprocal did not file an Abandoned Property report with the state

comptroller’s office as required by Section 1316 of the Abandoned Property Law for any of the years

under examination.

It is recommended that the Reciprocal comply with the Abandoned Property Law and file the

required reports.

F. Custodian Agreement

As of the examination date, the Reciprocal’s securities were held with a bank pursuant to a

custodial agreement. A review of the Reciprocal’s custodial agreement indicated that the agreement was

lacking several protective covenants that this Department deems necessary to safeguard the Reciprocal’s

assets, as follows:

1. The bank shall have in force, for its own protection, Bankers’ Blanket Bond
Insurance of the broadest form available for commercial banks and will continue to
maintain such insurance. The bank will give the insurer 60 days written notice of any
material change in the form or amount of such insurance prior to termination of this
coverage.

2. Maintain records sufficient to verify information that the insurer is required to


report in Schedule D of the Annual Statement blank of the Insurance Department of the
State of New York.

3. Furnish the insurer with the appropriate affidavits in the form as may be
acceptable to the New York Insurance Department in order for the securities referred to in
such affidavits to be recognized as admitted assets of the company.

4. There should be a provision in the agreement that would give the insurer the
opportunity to secure the most recent report on the review of the custodial system of
internal controls, pertaining to custodian record keeping, issued by internal or independent
auditors.
15

It is recommended that the Reciprocal amend its custodial agreement to include the above

provisions in order to provide its assets with the necessary safeguards.

G. Conflict of Interest

The Reciprocal adopted a policy statement pertaining to conflict of interest for its directors and

management. It was, however, noted that the Reciprocal failed to provide conflict of interest statements to

its directors and officers for the calendar years 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999.

It is recommended that the Reciprocal require its directors and officers to complete conflict of

interest statements on an annual basis.

H. Accounts and Records

i. Cash

In reviewing the cash on hand and on deposit it was noted that a discrepancy existed between the

Reciprocal’s authorized signature listing and the banking institution’s listing for specific cash accounts.

The Reciprocal’s cash represents an important part of its assets and it is extremely vital that the proper

internal controls be in place.

It is recommended that the Reciprocal review and update its authorized signatories with the

appropriate banking institution.


16

ii. Regulation 30

A review of the Reciprocal’s compliance with the Department Regulation 30 was performed as

part of this examination. Regulation 30, Part 107.3 states that the composition of each expense group shall

be categorized under investment expenses, loss adjustment expenses, taxes, general expenses, and

acquisition, field and collection expenses. Management has indicated that, “NYMIR pays contractually

agreed upon fees to two entities: Wright Risk Management Company and The New York State

Government Services Foundation.” NYMIR records it entire management fee paid to WRM in its

underwriting and investment exhibit – Part 4 Expenses, under the captioned category – general expense

and acquisition, field and collection expense or other underwriting expense. The annual statement for

NYMIR does not include any allocation of fees paid to the entities for the administrative functions that

carried out on behalf of NYMIR.

Based upon the Management’s representation and a review of the expenses reported in its filed

annual statements, it appears that the Reciprocal did not comply with Department Regulation 30. It was

also noted that the Reciprocal did not provide a proper allocation of its expenses as required by the

National Association Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) - Annual Statement Instructions. The annual

statement instructions provide specific instructions for the allocation of expense payment made to any non-

affiliated entity that provides management, administration, or services in whole or part to a Reciprocal’s

business or operations.

It is recommended that the Reciprocal undertake a study to determine the proper amounts to

allocate between expenses classified pursuant to Department Regulation 30, Part 107.3 and comply with

the NAIC Annual Statement Instructions with respect to expense classification accordingly. It is also
17

recommended that the Reciprocal comply with Regulation 30, Part 107.4(e)(1), which states in part “that

the method and bases followed in allocation to expense group shall be described, kept and supported.”
18

Non-Citizens Expected to Get Voting Rights in NYC


NewsMax ^ | April 5, 2006 | Carl Limbacher
Posted on 04/05/2006 12:16:42 PM PDT by Icelander

Legislation granting non-citizens the right to vote is expected to pass in New York City this year,
immigration rights advocates tell the Amsterdam News.

"We’ re very excited and very optimistic that this will pass," New York City Councilman Charles Barron
said at a recent press briefing. "We see this as the historical launching of something that should have
happened a long time ago," the outspoken Democrat added.

Dubbed the "Voting Rights Restoration Act," the measure would permit immigrants who have a green
card to vote in municipal elections, including for mayor, comptroller and city council, after having lived
in the city for six months.

The New York Coalition to Expand Voting Rights sees the measure being extended one day to state
and even federal elections. "There is nothing in either the U.S. or the New York State Constitution that
prevents us from expanding the franchise to include non-citizen residents," a spokesman for the group
argued in January.
Story Continues Below

Advocates claim that 22 states and federal territories allowed non-citizen voting during the 18th and
19th centuries. In New York, non-citizen residents were denied the right to vote in 1804. According to
the Caribbean news service, Heartbeat News, the measure's impact on New York City elections would
be substantial, adding up to 1.5 million voters to rolls. Most of the new voters, experts predict, would
cast their ballots for Democrats.

While New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has voiced opposition to the proposal, City Council
Speaker Christine Quinn told the Amsterdam News that she's "open to talking about passage."

In a statement issued by her office, City Council Member Melissa Mark Viverito praised the measure,
explaining:

"East Harlem, Mott Haven and the Upper West Side are home to at least 25 thousand non-citizens of
voting age who contribute in countless ways to the economic, social and cultural vitality of District 8
and NYC as a whole. Unfortunately they are not allowed to directly participate in choosing the
municipal representatives who make the policies that affect their daily lives."

For More Information: For Immediate Release


(518) 473-5525 April 28, 2006

STATEMENT OF ATTORNEY GENERAL’ S OFFICE REGARDING


MAY 1 "NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION FOR IMMIGRANT RIGHTS"

This Office has received inquiries about the legal obligations of employers to accommodate
employees’requests to take time off to participate in activities scheduled for May 1
recognizing the contributions of working immigrants to the national economy and local
communities. Some businesses will be closing for the demonstrations, while others will
remain open.

My office has received information that some employers are threatening to fire or take other
action against employees who take time off for this purpose. There have been reports in the
press that workers who attended previous demonstrations were fired solely for their
attendance at those events.

Federal labor law protects every employee’ s right to engage in concerted activities for
"mutual aid and protection," including calling for change in existing laws to improve working
conditions. The courts have held that participation by employees in demonstrations and rallies
like those planned for May 1 are protected activities under that provision.

Employers may impose reasonable requirements needed to keep their businesses functioning,
and employees must comply with those requirements. However, if adverse action, including
discharge, is taken against employees solely because of their participation in these activities,
the employer may be found to have violated the rights of those employees and could be
subject to legal action.

Employers need to carefully consider what reasonable limitations on their employees’


participation are truly necessary to the functioning of their businesses. Employers and
employees are urged to cooperate to avoid violations of law.
